Whenever I find myself dreaming of sandy beaches and sunshine, I whip up this Tropical Turmeric Smoothie.

Ingredients & Substitutions
Turmeric is a powerhouse of anti-inflammatory benefits, and when paired with ginger, it really packs a punch! If you can’t find fresh turmeric, the ground version works beautifully. I often use frozen fruits for convenience, and they make the smoothie extra creamy, too.
Tips & Notes
- •I keep my turmeric and ginger in the freezer; they last longer and are easier to grate!
- •Try serving this in a coconut shell for a fun presentation.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll throw in a handful of spinach for an extra nutrient boost—can’t taste it at all!
- •If I want a protein kick, I add a scoop of plant-based protein powder.
Storage & Freezing
This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in the fridge for a day. Just give it a good shake or stir before drinking, as it may separate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits?
Absolutely! I’ve swapped in papaya or even berries when I’m feeling adventurous. Just keep the tropical vibe!
