Ingredients

Instructions

  • Put unsweetened almond milk, Medjool date, turmeric, ginger, chia seeds, spinach, and frozen bananas into a blender. Secure lid.
    Place ingredients into the blender in the order listed.
  • Blend until smooth.
    Start the blender on LOW speed for 10 seconds. Increase speed to HIGH for a full minute.
  • Pour smoothie into a cup. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Pick bananas that have a mostly yellow peel and some brown areas. This is a sign that the bananas are ripe and sweet.
  • Use fresh, high-quality turmeric powder for the best flavor. Turmeric powder that's old will have a milder flavor.
  • Omit the sweetener if you prefer less sweet smoothies.
  • Instead of spinach, you can also use kale. It has an earthier flavor but it's also rich in antioxidants.
  • For a thicker smoothie, add extra frozen banana. Or add a few ice cubes for an icier drink.
  • If you want to thin the smoothie, pour a bit of milk into the blender and puree for 10 seconds.
  • The smoothie will taste best freshly made. However, you can refrigerate leftovers in an airtight jar for 1-2 days.
