Why You Will Love This Golden Turmeric Smoothie

The idea of adding yellow, spicy turmeric powder to a smoothie might seem strange, but trust me - it is absolutely delicious and incredibly good for you. Turmeric powder is like magic dust! It is packed with antioxidants and has incredible anti-inflammatory properties. The flavor of turmeric is balanced out beautifully in this smoothie with all the sweet fruit and fresh ginger.

This smoothie is also incredibly creamy in texture from the banana and almond milk. Smoothies are so easy to make and this one is no exception - it's just 5 simple ingredients thrown in a blender. It's really easy to incorporate turmeric on a daily basis and totally worth the benefits! Check out my Creamy Coconut Turmeric Smoothie Bowl as well :)

What You Need To Make A Healing Turmeric Smoothie

This smoothie is vegan, refined-sugar-free, gluten-free, and full of delicious tropical fruit flavors. The ingredients you will need to make it are:

• A banana: Fresh or frozen to add lots of creaminess to the smoothie.
• A small pineapple: Adds delicious flavor and nutrients.
• Turmeric powder: The magic ingredient!
• Fresh ginger: Add as much as you prefer
• Almond milk: Or any milk alternative you prefer

Can You Put Turmeric In A Smoothie?

You can use both ground turmeric powder or fresh turmeric root in your smoothies. This recipe uses turmeric powder as I find it easier to source and I know I will always have a stash of it ready to go. Properly stored turmeric powder will generally stay at its best quality for about 3 to 4 years, so it is definitely worth buying some to keep in your pantry. Do beware of spills though as turmeric can stain certain clothes and plastics.

What Flavors & Fruits Go Well With Turmeric?

Turmeric is an aromatic and deep spice and so it needs bright flavors to go with it. Turmeric, therefore, goes nicely with fresh tropical fruits and often needs a kick of sweetness to balance it out. Ingredients like pineapple, mango, banana, carrot, orange, papaya, and ginger are great flavor combinations with turmeric.
