Description

This quick and refreshing smoothie blends banana, fresh lemon juice, and zesty ginger for a bright, energizing drink that’s perfect for busy mornings. With almond milk and optional turmeric, it’s a digestion-friendly, immune-boosting powerhouse!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1 cup almond milk (or plant milk of choice)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 45 ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice the banana. Grate the ginger and squeeze the lemon juice.
  2. Add all ingredients to a blender: banana, almond milk, lemon juice, ginger, turmeric, and sweetener if using.
  3. Blend on high for 30–45 seconds until smooth and creamy.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. Add ice cubes and blend again for a colder texture if desired.
  5. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.

Notes

For a thicker smoothie, use frozen banana slices. Add a handful of spinach or a scoop of protein powder to make it more filling. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 hours. Garnish with a lemon slice or pinch of turmeric for a pretty touch.
