Turmeric Papaya Smoothie

This bright yellow-orange spice is best known for its medicinal properties and anti-inflammatory effects. Widely consumed for its immune-boosting properties, it comes from the turmeric root and has been used for thousands of years. While the most popular way of consuming it is by adding it to tea, a more creative way to have it is by blending it into your vegan smoothie! Not only does this add a vibrant colour, but the subtle taste of turmeric also adds a unique flavour—along with the added benefits of lowering cholesterol and preventing cancer.
