Turmeric Smoothie

Hello everyone ! welcome to smoothie junction. Here, i am going to share with you my favorite smoothie recipes. The very first smoothie recipe i am going to share with you all is TURMERIC SMOOTHIE! I have searched through the internet for turmeric smoothie recipes. I found many using powdered turmeric. Sadly i could not find a turmeric smoothie recipe using freshly grated turmeric root. So i experimented with a smoothie recipe i found on the net and used freshly grated turmeric instead of powdered. My smoothie turned out very delicious and refreshing and very healthy. Here's the smoothie recipe!

The Ingredients:
1 ripe banana
half a cup of  frozen ripe mango
1 cup orange juice
1 small piece of turmeric root, grated
1 small piece ginger root, grated
half a cup of evaporated milk
1 cup of cold water
* ( if fresh turmeric root is not available in your place or country, you can use a quarter of a teaspoon of powdered turmeric instead) *

The Procedure:
Mix all the first five ingredients in a blender and mix well for about 2 to 3 minutes then add the evaporated milk and water and blend again for just about  less than a minute. Pour in serving glasses and serve and enjoy.

Here are some photos of the turmeric smoothie i made for my 82 year old mom!
