Clean Eating Turmeric Smoothie

Switch up your smoothie game! I love this for breakfast, but it’s also great as a guilt-free sweet treat! If you love golden milk then this is the smoothie for you. 

The base for the smoothie is coconut milk, but feel free to use any non-dairy milk of your choosing. For an extra creamy milkshake replace 1/4 of the milk with canned coconut milk. Then it’s blended with dates, frozen banana, spices, a touch of maple syrup (if desired), and ice. 

Even though this tastes like an indulgent milkshake it’s packed with nutrients. The turmeric powder is a powerful antioxidant, full of anti-inflammatory properties, and incredible anti-cancer properties. Cinnamon is no slacker either, the delicious spice ranks in the top 10 highest antioxidants food according to the ORAC score. Enjoy!
