Other Turmeric Smoothie Recipes:
Those are just a few of our favorite Turmeric Smoothie Recipes. You can add 1 tsp of turmeric to any of your favorite smoothies to give it an additional healthy boost.
Tips for making smoothies:
Always put the liquid into the blender first. This will help keep the blender from jamming up.
Omit the ice if you are using frozen ingredients, like a frozen chopped banana. Then add ice until you get your desired consistency.
If you're smoothie calls for two or more types of fruit, don't use all frozen fruit otherwise the liquid will freeze the fruit and the blender will jam up.
If you like a thinner smoothie, add more water, milk, or dairy-free milk.
If you like a thicker smoothie, add more fresh or frozen fruit. Don't add more ice.
For a sweeter smoothie, add additional sweet fruits or add a tablespoon of honey, agave, or maple syrup.
These are just some general tips for making smoothies. If you'd like to share a tip, please leave it in the comment section below.
