Known for their vibrant colors and rich flavors, these root ingredients have been celebrated for centuries, not just for their taste but for their remarkable health benefits. Turmeric, with its active compound curcumin, is renowned for its powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Ingredients
  

1 ripe banana

1 cup coconut milk (or your choice of plant-based milk)

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and grated

1 teaspoon turmeric powder (or 1-inch piece of fresh turmeric, peeled and grated)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust according to your sweetness preference)

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for added nutrition)

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (to enhance absorption of turmeric)

A handful of ice cubes

Optional toppings: sliced banana, extra chia seeds, or a sprinkle of cinnamon

Instructions
 

Prepare Ingredients: Start by peeling and grating the fresh ginger and turmeric if using. Next, slice the ripe banana and set it aside for later use.

    Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the banana, along with the coconut milk, grated ginger, turmeric (either powdered or fresh), honey or maple syrup, ground cinnamon, chia seeds (if using), and black pepper.

      Blend the Smoothie: Blend the mixture on high speed until all ingredients are thoroughly combined, resulting in a smooth and creamy texture. If you prefer a thinner consistency, feel free to add additional coconut milk or ice cubes and blend again until you reach your desired thickness.

        Taste and Adjust: Take a moment to taste your smoothie. You can adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup, or increase the spice level with a pinch more turmeric if desired.

          Serve: Carefully pour the vibrant smoothie into a tall glass. For an appealing touch, garnish the top with sliced banana, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a few chia seeds for an extra layer of texture and nutrition.

            Enjoy Immediately: For the best flavor experience and maximum health benefits, relish your smoothie right after making it.
