Golden Milk Turmeric Smoothie

May 25, 2016 By Carrots and Flowers

Golden Milk Tumeric Smoothie

I’m am so addicted to smoothies! Every day, sometimes twice a day. I just can’t get enough! They are so easy, so healthy, and so quick to whip up.

But this smoothie, the Golden Milk Turmeric Smoothie, this one is really special. Turmeric is a spice native to India that boasts tremendous health benefits. Turmeric is reported to reduce inflammation, ease depression, and even help prevent cancer! All that goodness in one delicious smoothie? Yes please!

Golden Milk Turmeric SmoothieCurcumin, the beneficial compound found in tumeric, is a powerful antioxidant. The bioavailability of curcumin increases dramatically when it’s combined with healthy fats and black pepper, so this Golden Milk Turmeric Smoothie recipe uses coconut milk (bonus- it’s delicious!) and a dash of black pepper so your body can absorb all yummy goodness and get all of the health benefits. The turmeric has a strong flavor, so I would start with 1 teaspoon for 2 smoothies to start.

Golden Milk Turmeric SmoothieThis Golden Milk Turmeric Smoothie is delicious on it’s own, but if you have time to whip up some coconut cream, I highly recommend it! It takes less than five minutes and keeps in the fridge for about a week. Make a batch and save the rest to eat with berries or on top of our super tasty No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie!

Golden Milk Turmeric SmoothieWe made this Golden Milk Turmeric Smoothie on Facebook live a  few days ago. (Watch the replay here!) It was a quick segment, just about 5 minutes so we were blown away that it has already been viewed nearly 10,000 times! It is deeply inspiring to me that so many people are interested in health, wellness, and plant-based food! Be sure to follow us on Facebook to see our cooking videos and vegan cooking demos. 🙂

Golden Milk Turmeric SmoothieI love making Golden Milk Turmeric Smoothies for breakfast. They are sweet, filling, delicately spiced, and GORGEOUS! I love the color so much, I bought a yard of golden yellow lace to go with it. All yellow everything!

      Hi Barbara,
      Thanks for stopping by! So sorry for the delayed response. I didn’t get an email about your comment for some reason. I’m not a nutritionist, but I have never experienced any weight gain eating fruit smoothies- the opposite actually. As part of a balanced diet, and without any added sugar, I feel they are an excellent way to consume fruit, especially on the go!

    Hi Megan. Just made this and my goodness it’s great. Not a fan of spices so only used one tsp to Turmeric, but so yum. Was going to make the cream, but made the mistake of taking a sip first and so the cream got forgotten. Making again – Love the site and the recipes.

    In order to gain the benefits of turmeric, it does need to be “cooked” and have an added fat (such as coconut oil) and freshly ground black pepper. This little concotion is called “Golden Paste” and you can make it and freeze small portions, and can be added for a smoothie. If you want to know know just Google “Golden Paste” and you will find both the recipe and the technique to make this magic stuff.
