Notes

Use frozen bananas to create a colder, creamier smoothie without adding ice.
Fresh turmeric root can be used instead of ground turmeric, but adjust quantity accordingly.
This smoothie is naturally vegan and dairy-free due to the use of coconut milk and water.
For extra protein, add a scoop of your preferred protein powder or a tablespoon of chia seeds.
Consume immediately as smoothies can lose flavor and nutrients if stored too long.
