Fresh Turmeric Tonic

If you have been following turmeric in the news, you already know that it has proven benefits, according to experts. Anti-inflammatory, digestive, and much more.

I’m not a doctor or nutrition specialist in any way, but I am intrigued by all that I have read. You can come to your own conclusions about this amazing root.

I wanted to be able to take turmeric in a way that was enjoyable, and to pair it with some other healthy ingredients.

A morning “tonic” or smoothie seemed like a fun recipe to try. I am really happy with it!

What is Turmeric?

According to Wikipedia, “Turmeric is a flowering plant, Curcuma longa of the ginger family, Zingiberaceae, the roots of which are used in cooking”.

It does look a lot like ginger, with the little toes growing out of a larger part of the root. Its peel is layered looking, and that gives it a striped appearance. The flesh is a lovely bright orange color.

Use a good blender

This is where a really good blender comes in handy. All of the strings from the ginger, and the other ingredients will be completely pureed, leaving just a small amount of pulp behind.

I like that this tonic has some texture, and isn’t just a thin juice. However, if you like a thinner juice, you could strain it.

Can I use Powdered Turmeric?

Yes, however be sure you find the freshest you can, and from a reputable source.

I don’t use the powder for this Turmeric Tonic because the flavor is so nice from the fresh root.

    Whoa! That has quite the kick! I’ve discovered that I LOVE fresh turmeric root in smoothies and have been searching other ways to use it. I really like this recipe, but. I’m not someone who likes a lot of spice/heat, so next time, I’ll cut back a bit on the amount of both roots. I also added a little bit of coconut milk for the fat. I love drinking something so very healthy! Thank you for the recipe!
