Ayurveda-inspired smoothie with turmeric

Turmeric has been a central part of Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine for centuries. A powerful root, renowned for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and immune-boosting properties. The golden root is a true gift to the body and can support everything from digestion, the immune system, skin conditions, allergies and joint pain. In addition, it also contributes to cognitive function and mental well-being.

Turmeric contains the active compound curcumin, the most well-documented component of turmeric, celebrated for its many health benefits. However, the body cannot absorb curcumin on its own.

That is why we have added a pinch of black pepper to the recipe, which contains the active compound piperine - just a pinch increases the absorption of curcumin by 2000%. Together with a healthy source of fat, such as coconut oil, this ensures that the body can absorb all the beneficial compounds as well as possible.

… blend, enjoy – and feel the effect of this Ayurveda-inspired smoothie,
which will make you glow from the inside out.

Recipe

(The recipe makes approx. ½ litre of smoothie)

Ingredients

55 g almonds
120 g cauliflower
1 banana
2-3 g fresh turmeric in small pieces + a pinch of freshly ground pepper
17 g ginger
The juice of half a lemon (optionally also some of the zest for extra freshness)
4 dates
2 dl water
2 tsp coconut oil or another oil
4 large ice cubes (if you are not using frozen ingredients*)

Ideas for other additions:

Mushrooms - e.g. enoki or portobello for adaptogenic properties.
Spices - e.g. cinnamon, vanilla and cardamom for more Ayurvedic-balancing benefits -
and for a true ‘golden latte’-inspired, aromatic flavour.

*Fruit and vegetables can be used either frozen or fresh. There is a big difference between making the smoothie with frozen ingredients (you will then typically need more water instead of ice) or with non-frozen ingredients (you will then need ice or time in the fridge).
