Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch (about 1/8 teaspoon) ground black pepper
  • 1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup silken tofu
  • 1 ripe banana, sliced (preferably frozen)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 45 ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and finely grate about 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger. Peel and slice a ripe banana, preferably frozen for creaminess.
  2. Pour 1 cup of full-fat coconut milk and 1/2 cup of water into your blender.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of ground black pepper.
  4. Add 1/2 cup silken tofu, 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until completely smooth and creamy without graininess.
  6. If desired, add 4-5 ice cubes and blend again for 30 seconds to chill and thicken.
  7. Taste and adjust sweetness or spice as needed by adding more syrup or cinnamon.
  8. Serve immediately in a glass and enjoy.

Notes

If turmeric powder feels gritty, blend spices dry with banana before adding liquids. Fresh turmeric root can be used (1 tablespoon grated) but may be fibrous. Black pepper enhances turmeric absorption. Silken tofu adds creaminess and protein; can be swapped with coconut yogurt or almond butter for variations. Store smoothie in airtight container in fridge up to 24 hours and stir before drinking.
