Smoothie Recipe: Turmeric Smoothie

 Turmeric Smoothie Recipe

 

This creamy smoothie not only tastes amazing, but offers nutritious properties that heal from the inside out.

Turmeric helps reduce inflammation, while ginger offers an extra boost of antioxidant strength and aids digestion. To take it one step further, pure coconut oil gives this tonic a dose of healthy fats.

Start by adding a scoop of ice to your blender, followed by coconut milk, coconut oil, turmeric, ginger, and honey. Honey adds sweetness to the smoothie, balancing the turmeric’s bitterness.

 Blend on high speed, stopping to scrape the sides of the blender occasionally with a wooden spoon. Pour the smoothie into a tall glass and stir in chia seeds. With their plump, pearlescent texture, chia seeds add a bubble tea consistency to smoothies. Let the seeds sit for a few minutes so that they can “bloom.”
