Easy To Make Anti-Inflammatory Golden Milk Smoothie Recipe

Since I keep a mostly anti-inflammatory diet and have suffered from chronic pain, I have consumed a lot of turmeric. I still do on the occasion I ache so I joke I bleed yellow. I love and still drink hot Golden Milk many mornings, especially in the colder months. It’s truly one of my favorite morning drinks. Yet, some mornings I want a smoothie or instead of a meal. Especially when it’s warm outside. So I want to share this delicious Golden Milk Smoothie recipe.

Yes, the recipe has carrots in it, but I promise you won’t taste them and they add a ton of nutrients (beta-carotene, fiber, vitamin K, potassium and antioxidants). Also, if you are wondering why there is a pinch of black pepper in the recipe, it’s to help boost the absorption of turmeric. Turmeric root (fresh or powdered) has natural oils that makes it hard for the body to absorb. The piperine in black pepper improves bioactivity of turmeric’s curcumin seven to eight fold. Therefore a pinch of pepper will ensure better and quicker pain relief. Besides, it adds a touch of spice.

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled
