Golden Turmeric Smoothie

Ingredients

• 1 frozen banana, sliced
• 1 cup canned coconut milk
• 1 tsp ground turmeric
• pinch of black pepper
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tbsp allulose (optional)

Method

1. 1

   Add coconut milk, turmeric, and a pinch of black pepper to the blender — pairing black pepper with turmeric like this is what significantly increases how much curcumin, turmeric's beneficial compound, the body can actually absorb; the piperine in black pepper slows down how quickly the liver breaks curcumin apart, so more of it stays active.

2. 2

   Add ginger, cinnamon, and allulose if using.

3. 3

   Add the frozen banana slices.

4. 4

   Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy.

5. 5

   Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
