Print Recipe

A quick and easy smoothie blending ripe bananas, turmeric, and almond milk for a creamy, anti-inflammatory boost that’s perfect for mornings or afternoons.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium ripe frozen bananas
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • A pinch of ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice the ripe bananas, then freeze them for at least 2 hours or overnight for a creamy texture. Fresh bananas can be used but the smoothie will be less thick.
  2. Grate fresh ginger to get about 1/2 teaspoon.
  3. Combine 1 teaspoon turmeric powder with a pinch of black pepper.
  4. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk into a blender. Add 1/4 cup (60 ml) Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt if using.
  5. Add 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup if additional sweetness is desired.
  6. Place bananas, turmeric mixture, ginger, liquids, and any optional add-ins (chia seeds, vanilla extract) into the blender. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  7. Taste and adjust thickness or spice by adding more almond milk or ginger/turmeric as preferred.
  8. Serve immediately in a glass or jar.

Notes

Use frozen bananas for creaminess without diluting flavor with ice. Freshly ground black pepper is essential to enhance turmeric absorption. Adjust sweetness based on banana ripeness. Blend long enough to avoid gritty texture. Can substitute oat or coconut milk for almond milk. Yogurt is optional for creaminess and protein. Store smoothie in fridge up to 24 hours, stir before drinking.
