Super-Cleansing Turmeric Smoothie
Carrots + beets + freshly grated turmeric = yes please!!!
Turmeric is one of my go-to problem-solvers: it's a natural detoxifier, has potent anti-inflammatory properties, and has even been linked to cancer prevention. Toss it in a blender with fresh veggie juice and some bananas to sweeten things up, and you've got a super-healing, super-yummy smoothie!
Ingredients
- 2 medium carrots, chopped for juicer
- 1 apple (any red or pink variety), chopped for juicer
- 1 large red beet, chopped for juicer
- 1 generous handful fresh parsley
- 1 inch fresh turmeric root, peeled and grated
- 3 peeled bananas, frozen ahead of time
Make
- Make your juice: toss carrots, apple, beet, and parsley into your juicer.
- Make your smoothie: in a blender, combine your fresh juice, grated turmeric, and bananas. Blend until smooth.
- Enjoy!
This recipe yields about 32 ounces of smoothie, so it's definitely shareable for two!
