Turmeric Ginger Smoothie with Greens

Considering the amount of smoothies I drink, I sure don’t post very many smoothie recipes on the blog!

I think maybe it’s because it doesn’t seem fancy enough…but who doesn’t need some more inspo when it comes to their morning blend? I know I do.

Let me introduce you to your new fave: my turmeric ginger smoothie with greens

Okay, okay…this is not my first turmeric smoothie recipe on the blog. That’s because turmeric is a go-to in my smoothies for a bit of extra anti-inflammatory power, as are greens. And getting the flavour balance right can actually take a bit of effort, lest you be sucking back something that tastes vaguely of dirt.

Which pretty much ruins your whole morning, doesn’t it? Not on my watch!

Also, a super important dietitian-y note: this recipe doesn’t contain any protein. If this smoothie is your breakfast, I can’t stress enough how important it is to add a hefty source of plant protein. Without protein, your blood sugars will spike and crash, leaving your hangry despite consuming enough energy to hold you to lunch. A vanilla protein powder would be perfect here, but you could just as easily add some silken tofu or hemp seeds too.

Drink up, friends!
