24 CARAT GOLD SMOOTHIE
INGREDIENTS
1 banana, quartered and frozen
1 large mandarin orange, seedless, peeled (or 2 cuties)
1/2 cup mango, frozen
1/2 cup zucchini, fresh or frozen, chopped
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup coconut milk (full fat)*
2-3 ice cubes, optional (I like them extra cold)
1/8-1/4 teaspoon turmeric (or 1/4 teaspoon fresh grated)
1/8-1/4 teaspoon ginger powder (or 1/4-1/2 teaspoon fresh grated)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Add all smoothie ingredients, except ginger and turmeric, to a blender. I used a standard (not high speed) blender for this, and the orange blended just fine whole!
2. After all ingredients are smooth, add turmeric and ginger. I've made this with both powdered spices and fresh, and I prefer powdered turmeric and fresh ginger. Fresh turmeric is the most powerful, but I don't like the strong taste in smoothies. It's possible that adding a touch of maple syrup or honey would help mellow the taste.
