Turmeric Golden Milk Smoothie
Glow from within with this absolutely delicious, anti-inflammatory Turmeric Golden Milk Smoothie! It's thick, creamy, and packed with flavor! It's perfectly sweet and spiced, thanks to frozen banana, cinnamon, and turmeric powder. It can be made vegan and dairy-free!
Ingredients
- 1 frozen banana
- 1/3 cup frozen riced cauliflower *optional! makes it thicker/creamier & you can't taste it!
- 1 scoop vanilla or chai flavored protein powder *Linked my favorites in the notes!
- 1-2 tbsp almond or cashew butter
- 1-2 tbsp chia seeds or flax seeds (or a mix!)
- 1 tsp ground turmeric powder
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger (1" knob)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 3 baby carrots or 1/2 medium carrot
- 3/4 cup lite canned coconut milk or milk of choice
- tiny dash of nutmeg & ground black pepper *pepper is needed to absorb the nutrients from the turmeric! You won't taste it. Very minimal is needed!
- optional: tiny pinch of cardamom
- few ice cubes, if needed
Instructions
- NOTE: I like to start with less milk, blend, and add more as needed to create the thickest, creamiest shake. But this is totally preference!
- Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste & adjust any spices/sweetness as desired. You can add more ginger if you'd like, as well!
- Add more liquid as needed for desired consistency.
- Pour into a glass, sprinkle granola or whatever you'd like and enjoy!
Optional toppings
- Feel free to add a dollop of yogurt, granola, fresh berries, chocolate chips or cacao nibs, chopped nuts, or bee pollen!

Notes
My favorite protein powders for this recipe:
- Macro Mike Vanilla Buttercream - so delicious and creamy! Works as a lovely vanilla base to this smoothie! You can use my code "amb-dani" for a discount!
- Ka'Chava Chai - this powder is packed with extra nutrients and I love the flavor!
- Paleo Valley Bone Broth Protein - rich in amino acids and collagen, I love adding a scoop of this to the smoothie along with one of the base proteins! The vanilla and salted caramel both work great here! My link will get you 15% off any order! (:
