Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of black pepper (to aid turmeric absorption)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 frozen banana (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional)
- 4 ice cubes
Instructions
- Place the almond milk, turmeric, cinnamon, black pepper, chia seeds, frozen banana (if using), maple syrup (if using), and ice cubes into a high-speed blender.
- Secure the lid tightly on the blender.
- Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed.
- Pour the smoothie immediately into your favorite glass.
- Enjoy this warm, supportive drink right away.
Notes
- Always add a pinch of black pepper; it significantly increases the body’s ability to absorb the beneficial curcumin in turmeric.
- Feel free to use any milk alternative you prefer, such as oat or coconut milk.
- For an extra anti-inflammatory kick, add a small slice of fresh ginger root before blending.
- This recipe is designed to be refreshing and cool, but you can gently warm the milk before blending for a traditional ‘golden milk’ experience (omit ice if warming).
