Golden Turmeric and Orange Smoothie

Golden Turmeric and Orange Smoothie

   This creative combination of turmeric, carrot, ginger, and orange is sweet and creamy.  I like to add some cinnamon and nutmeg for a little bit of spicy.  If you use coconut milk it goes really nice with the turmeric. If you want to add some extra probiotics you can use a scoop of yogurt, or the ginger turmeric coconut yogurt "Co-co yo" makes. 

Tip: Try not to get the turmeric powder on any counter top or it will stain.  

Healthy tip: Turmeric is a powerful antioxidant, good for brain health, and reduces inflammation in the body.  Make sure to get organic, from the bulk section of the grocery store.
