Apple Orange Smoothie – with Turmeric

How about an apple orange smoothie to start the day in a healthy and delicious way? Add some turmeric or golden paste to make it even better.

I do love my homemade Turmeric Paste for Golden Milk and I normally drink it every day in the original form of Golden Milk or as Turmeric Tea. But because I usually like a lot of change when it comes to eating and drinking, I’ve come up with several recipes that use this wonderful mixture.

One of them and probably the simplest of them all is this apple smoothie with orange and banana. A perfectly delicious and healthy start in the day! It takes less than 5 minutes to make and it tastes fantastic. Just give it a try!

• One orange, thick orange peel, and all the white peel removed.
• Some orange juice, preferably freshly squeezed from another orange. From a pack is fine too, just make sure it has no added sugar.
