Equipment
- Blender
Ingredients
- 1 cup Banana ripe, sliced, frozen
- 1 cup Coconut or Almond Milk use full-fat coconut milk for creamier smoothie
- 1/2 tsp Member's Mark™ Ground Turmeric
- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger plus more to taste
- 1 dash Member's Mark™ Ground Cinnamon
- 1 dash Member's Mark™ Fine Ground Black Pepper
- 1 dash Ground nutmeg
- 1 dash Ground clove and/or cardamom optional for warmth & spice
- 1/4 cup Fresh carrot juice optional for color & sweetness
Instructions
- Add banana, coconut milk, Member's Mark™ Ground Turmeric, ginger, Member's Mark™ Ground Cinnamon, Member's Mark™ Fine Ground Black Pepper, and nutmeg to a high-speed blender and blend on high until creamy and smooth. If including, add cardamom, clove, and fresh carrot juice at this time (optional).
- If too thick, thin with more coconut milk or water. If too thin, thicken with ice (or more frozen banana, though it will add more sweetness).
- Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more cinnamon for warmth, black pepper for spice, ginger for “zing,” turmeric for earthiness / more intense color, or banana for sweetness. Adding carrot juice will also add sweetness and more intense orange/yellow hue.
- Divide between serving glasses and enjoy immediately. Keep leftovers in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Freeze leftovers by pouring into an ice cube tray and use for future smoothies (either this smoothie or others you’d like to infuse with a golden milk flavor).
