This fresh and easy blueberry and banana smoothie is blended with turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, pecans, ice cubes, and water. There is no yogurt, it's anti-inflammatory, and also delicious.
I use water in this blueberry and banana smoothie because, well, it's abundant and free. But, you can also use almond milk, yogurt, milk, soy milk, or whatever your dairy substitute is.
This blueberry and banana smoothie recipe is refreshing and for those days when you just don't feel like eating all that food, but still want the taste, nutrients, and a full tummy.
Variations On Blueberry and Banana Smoothies
I drink these when I have long cooking days as a personal chef and don't have time to eat. Throw in a little ginger and turmeric for taste and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Want a smoother consistency? Add more water or milk. Want it thicker. Leave it out.
This is a basic recipe - any fruit or nut or even peanut butter works! Bonus: They freeze decent too if you make too much and don't want to drink it all.
