Ingredients
  

For the Smoothie Base
  • ½ Lemon Lemon juice can be used if a whole lemon isn't desired
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger ensure you peel and chop it before blending; ginger powder can substitute at ¼ teaspoon
  • 1 Large Banana frozen banana gives a thicker texture while fresh is also fine
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground Turmeric stick to ground unless you have fresh turmeric on hand
  • ¾ cup Almond Milk or other plant-based milk; can substitute with coconut water

Equipment

  • high-speed blender

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by preparing your ingredients: peel the banana and chop the fresh ginger. In a high-speed blender, combine the chopped banana, juice of half a lemon, one tablespoon of fresh ginger, ¼ teaspoon of ground turmeric, and ¾ cup of almond milk. Secure the lid and blend for about 30-45 seconds, or until you achieve a smooth, creamy texture with no chunks remaining.
  2. After blending the initial mixture, check the consistency. If the smoothie appears too thick, gradually add an extra splash of almond milk, blending for an additional 10-15 seconds.
  3. Once your smoothie reaches the desired consistency, taste it. If you'd like to enhance the sweetness, consider adding one to two dates or a splash of maple syrup. Blend again for another 10-15 seconds.
  4. Pour your smoothie into a glass, possibly garnishing with a sprinkle of turmeric or a slice of lemon. Serve immediately or store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to one day.
