About this remedy
This smoothie version of traditional golden milk combines turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, and banana for a creamy anti-inflammatory drink.

Preparation
Blend 1 banana, 1 tsp turmeric powder, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ginger powder, 1 tbsp coconut oil, a pinch of black pepper, 1 cup milk (or plant milk), and 1 tsp honey until smooth.
Dosage
1 smoothie daily, preferably in the morning or as an afternoon pick-me-up. Consistent daily use provides the best anti-inflammatory benefits.
Cautions
Turmeric may interact with blood thinners and diabetes medications. Coconut oil adds saturated fat — adjust if monitoring cholesterol. Can stain blenders and cups yellow.
