Turmeric Ginger Smoothie

A tropical and nutrient-rich anti-inflammatory smoothie! This smoothie not only looks vibrant and beautiful, it tastes delicious and is loaded with beneficial ingredients! Curcumin, a substance in turmeric, is high in antioxidants and is a powerful anti-inflammatory. A pinch of black pepper helps your body to absorb more of the curcumin (you won’t even taste it!). Ginger is also an excellent anti-inflammatory, plus it can help fight infection and aid in digestion. There’s fiber from the fruit and protein from the Greek yogurt which will help keep you full all morning long :)

Ingredients:

  • ¾ cup frozen pineapple chunks (mango works too)

  • 1 banana, frozen

  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced

  • 1 tsp ground turmeric 

  • ½  cup plain Greek yogurt (I like 2%)

  • ¾ cup dairy or non-dairy milk

  • Pinch of black pepper

Directions:

  • Blend together and enjoy!
