What is Turmeric?
Turmeric has been used for thousands of years in India. Curcumin is the main ingredient in turmeric, and it has powerful ant-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant.A smoothie is such a great way to start the day. It is the simplest way to get a whole lot of nutrition in your body that will fuel you throughout your morning. I love to make a double batch of this and save the rest for the afternoon.
Drinking this smoothie is a great way to avoid the afternoon crash and just have something healthy on hand. Put the extra in a glass mason jar, and bring it with you to work or pop it in your fridge for later.

Turmeric looks likes very similar to ginger root. It has a beautiful orange color when you cut it open. You can usually find turmeric root at your health food store or you can buy it in powdered form as a spice to add to your food. Either way, it’s a super food for your body.
