A quick and easy smoothie blending turmeric, coconut milk, and warming spices for a creamy, nourishing boost perfect for any time of day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder (organic recommended)
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • A pinch of black pepper
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk (can substitute almond or oat milk)
  • 1 ripe frozen banana
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A handful of ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Measure 1 teaspoon turmeric, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of black pepper. Peel and slice your frozen banana into chunks.
  2. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of full-fat coconut milk into the blender. Add the turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, and black pepper. Blend on low for about 15 seconds to mix the spices evenly.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste) and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Blend again for 10 seconds to integrate flavors.
  4. Add the frozen banana chunks and a handful of ice cubes. Blend on high for 45-60 seconds until creamy and smooth.
  5. Taste the smoothie. If too thick, add a splash more coconut milk; if not sweet enough, add a little more honey or maple syrup and pulse a few seconds more.
  6. Pour into a glass or mason jar. Optionally, sprinkle a dusting of cinnamon or black pepper flakes on top and serve immediately.

Notes

Use frozen ripe banana for creamy texture without yogurt or ice cream. Do not skip black pepper to enhance turmeric absorption. Blend thoroughly for smooth texture. Clean blender immediately to avoid turmeric stains. Can substitute plant-based milks and sweeteners to fit dietary needs.
