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!

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.
