Ingredients
  

1 frozen banana

1 cup almond milk (or coconut milk)

1 tablespoon turmeric powder

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for a vegan alternative)

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for added texture)

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ cup pineapple chunks (can be fresh or frozen)

A pinch of freshly ground black pepper (to enhance turmeric absorption)

Ice cubes (optional, depending on desired thickness)

Instructions
 

Prepare Your Ingredients: Ensure your banana is frozen before starting for optimal creaminess. Grate the fresh ginger using a microplane or fine grater, and if using fresh pineapple, chop it into bite-sized chunks for easy blending.

    Combine in Blender: In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen banana, almond milk (or coconut milk), turmeric powder, grated ginger, honey (or maple syrup), optional chia seeds, ground cinnamon, pineapple chunks, and the pinch of black pepper.

      Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed for 30-60 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. For a thicker consistency, feel free to add a few ice cubes and blend again until well incorporated.

        Taste and Adjust: After blending, taste your smoothie. If you’d like it sweeter, stir in more honey or maple syrup. For an extra kick, add more grated ginger according to your preference.

          Serve: Pour the vibrant smoothie into a glass, and for an appealing presentation, garnish with a light sprinkle of ground cinnamon on top or place a slice of pineapple elegantly on the rim of the glass.

            Enjoy: Sip your smoothie at a leisurely pace and savor the warm, invigorating flavors while reaping the anti-inflammatory benefits of turmeric and ginger.
