A quick and nourishing smoothie blending mixed berries, turmeric, and flaxseed for an anti-inflammatory energy boost that’s both delicious and wholesome.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) mixed berries (fresh or frozen raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries)
  • ½ medium banana, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk
  • ¼ cup (60g) Greek yogurt (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (optional)
  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Measure out 1 cup (150g) of mixed berries, ½ sliced ripe banana, 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed, ½ teaspoon turmeric powder, and 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk. Optional: ¼ cup (60g) Greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon honey, ¼ teaspoon grated fresh ginger, and a pinch of black pepper.
  2. Pour the almond milk into the blender jar to start with liquids for smooth blending.
  3. Add the berries and banana slices to the blender.
  4. Sprinkle in the ground flaxseed and turmeric powder.
  5. Add optional ingredients: Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, fresh ginger, and black pepper.
  6. Secure the lid and blend on high for 45-60 seconds until creamy and smooth. Add more almond milk if too thick and blend again.
  7. Taste and adjust sweetness or turmeric strength by adding more honey, banana, or yogurt as needed.
  8. Pour into a glass and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

Use ground flaxseed instead of whole seeds for better digestion and texture. Adding a pinch of black pepper enhances turmeric absorption. Frozen berries keep the smoothie cold and thick without watering it down. Adjust sweetness with honey or maple syrup as needed. For a colder smoothie, freeze banana slices ahead of time.
