    Ever since the craziness of 2020 hit, I have been adding ginger and turmeric to my morning smoothie. I love the health benefits of turmeric and ginger, so I figured I'd showcase the ingredients in a Turmeric Banana Smoothie.

    I take both for inflammation. I made a Turmeric Ginger Latte recipe as well that is warm and comforting.

    With warming spices, mango, and banana, this healthy smoothie tastes sweet and creamy.

    Other turmeric recipes are my Turmeric Ginger Energy Balls and my Golden Milk Ice Cream Recipe. It may not sound like an ice cream flavor to try, but trust me it is delicious!

    If you are a kombucha lover, try my Banana Kombucha recipe or my Turmeric Kombucha with Lemon.

    🧾 Ingredients

    Ingredients with labels.
    • Almond milk: You could also use oat milk, soy milk, cashew milk or your favorite dairy-free milk.
    • Coconut milk: Adds a creamy rich flavor and to help the turmeric with absorption.
    • Mango: Adds sweetness. You can use fresh or frozen mango.
    • Banana: Adds a sweet creamy flavor. You can use fresh or frozen banana. I like to always have frozen bananas in my freezer for smoothies.
    • Ground turmeric, ground ginger, cinnamon, cardamom: Adds warm spice flavors. You could also add a smoothie powder mix.
    • Black pepper: Helps the absorption of turmeric. You could leave it out.
    • Hemp seeds: Adds protein. You could use protein powder, chia seeds or another seed or nut.

    This is an overview of the ingredients. To see the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

      This smoothie has a lot of flavor and didn’t need any additional sweetening. I used frozen mango and fresh banana. Also used unsweetened coconut milk, from a carton, instead of the almond milk. I had these ingredients on hand. I would definitely make this smoothie again.4 stars
