Tropical Turmeric Refresher - Vegan recipe hero image

I first whipped up this Tropical Turmeric Refresher on a particularly hot summer afternoon when I was craving something cooling and invigorating.

The golden hue of turmeric always reminds me of sunshine, and it’s packed with healing properties.

This drink is not just a treat for the taste buds; it’s a little hug for the body, too.

Plus, it’s super easy to make, so I often whip it up when I need a quick pick-me-up!

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

Fresh pineapple and mango really shine in this recipe, but if you can’t find them, frozen works too! Just remember to adjust the coconut water accordingly since frozen fruits can be a bit thicker. Also, turmeric is an amazing anti-inflammatory, but if you're sensitive to it, you can dial it back a bit or even leave it out.

Tips & Notes

  • I love to keep my ginger and turmeric in the freezer; they last longer and are easier to grate when frozen!
  • If you want to make it a bit creamier, add a splash of coconut milk.

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes, I like to throw in a handful of spinach for a green boost - you won’t even taste it!
  • If you’re in the mood for something a little different, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.

Storage & Freezing

You can store any leftover refresher in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 48 hours. Just give it a good stir before you drink it, as the ingredients may settle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare the mixture and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just give it a good shake before serving.
