Ingredients
  

1 ripe banana, frozen

1 cup coconut milk (or almond milk)

1 teaspoon ground turmeric

1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger (or 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional for added nutrition)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of black pepper (to enhance turmeric absorption)

Ice cubes (optional, for a chilled smoothie)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: If you haven’t frozen your banana yet, peel it and cut it into small pieces, then freeze for at least 1-2 hours.

    Blend the Smoothie: In a blender, combine the frozen banana, coconut milk, turmeric, ginger, honey (or maple syrup), chia seeds (if using), vanilla extract, and black pepper.

      Add Ice: If you prefer your smoothie extra cold, add a few ice cubes to the blender.

        Blend Until Smooth: Secure the lid on your blender and blend on high until all ingredients are well combined and smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more coconut milk until you reach your desired consistency.

          Taste and Adjust: Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more honey or syrup.

            Serve and Enjoy: Pour the smoothie into a glass, sprinkle a little ground turmeric or chia seeds on top if desired, and enjoy your nutritious Golden Turmeric Ginger Smoothie!
