Turmeric Ginger Colada Smoothie
This gingery turmeric smoothie is packed with fresh pineapple and banana, for a healthy, refreshing drink that tastes like a piña colada.
Servings: 1 -2
Ingredients
- 1 inch piece fresh turmeric peeled (or 1 tsp. dried turmeric)
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger peeled
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
- 1 cup unflavored soy or almond milk could substitute some or all with coconut milk
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place turmeric, ginger, banana and pineapple in blender and blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides of pitcher as needed.
- Add milk and vanilla. Blend again until smooth.
Notes
If you substitute coconut milk, you'll get something that tastes even more like a pina coloda. I opted to go with unflavored soy milk, to keep my smoothie on the light side.
