The golden smoothie is a perfect balance between sweet and citrus. Turmeric, cinnamon, pineapple, peach, and banana combine with orange juice for a quick and delightful treat. This golden smoothie is great as a quick breakfast, a midday snack, or served alongside a meal.
We love the unexpected richness that comes with adding spices to fruit smoothies. Turmeric is the star in this recipe. Turmeric comes from a root plant, similar to ginger. Its main compound, curcumin, is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. You can learn more about the potential health benefits of Turmeric here.
