Print Recipe

A vibrant turmeric-spiced smoothie blending the healing powers of golden milk with creamy bananas and tropical pineapple. This dairy-free elixir is packed with antioxidants and makes the perfect energizing breakfast or soothing evening drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk)
  • 1 frozen banana
  • ½ cup (75g) frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1 tbsp almond butter
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground ginger
  • Pinch of black pepper (enhances turmeric absorption)
  • Pinch of ground cardamom
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • 1 tsp chia seeds (optional)
  • Ice cubes (as needed for thickness)

Instructions

  1. Combine liquids: Add almond milk to blender first for smoother blending.
  2. Add spices: Place turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, black pepper, and cardamom directly into liquid to prevent clumping.
  3. Layer remaining ingredients: Add frozen fruits, almond butter, vanilla, and sweetener if using.
  4. Blend: Start on low speed, gradually increasing to high until completely smooth (about 60 seconds).
  5. Adjust texture: Add ice for thicker consistency or more milk for thinner.
  6. Serve immediately: Pour into chilled glass, sprinkle with extra cinnamon if desired.

Notes

  • For creamier version: Use ½ cup coconut milk + ½ cup water
  • Turmeric tip: Fresh turmeric root (1-inch piece) can replace ground
  • Make-ahead: Store in airtight jar up to 24 hours (shake before drinking)
  • Anti-inflammatory boost: Add 1 tsp flaxseed oil or coconut oil
  • Protein option: Add 1 scoop vanilla plant-based protein powder
