Healing Coconut Turmeric Smoothie

9/4/2016

Turmeric, a bright yellow aromatic powder obtained from a plant in the ginger family, has been used in various cultures for centuries because of its tremendous healing properties. Although turmeric on its own has a slightly bitter taste, blending it with sweet fruit and other flavors makes it an excellent (and very healthy) addition to a smoothie or dish. Try this delicious Coconut Turmeric smoothie recipe to enjoy both the unique taste and health benefits of this Superfood:

You'll Need:

1 cup coconut milk
1 frozen banana
½ cup frozen mango
1 tbsp coconut oil
½ tsp turmeric powder
½ tsp cinnamon
1 tsp chia seeds

Directions:

In a blender, combine the frozen mango, frozen banana, and coconut oil, followed by the turmeric, cinnamon and chia seeds.
Blend all ingredients with coconut milk until smooth. Add more milk as needed until thin!

The Power of Turmeric:
As we mentioned above, turmeric is known for its incredible healing effects on the body. In addition to its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, turmeric is also an anti-bacterial, making it a great supplement for overall skin health. What’s more - turmeric has also shown to help prevent and destroy cancer cells, as well as helping relieve and stave off Alzheimer’s disease, arthritis, asthma, diabetes, and depression. We hope you enjoy this super simple, yet powerful recipe as much as we do!
