Why Use A Turmeric Protein Smoothie

Turmeric is a small, orange looking root you can find in just about every grocery store. In contrast, while it may seem simple, it’s not. Turmeric part of the ginger family and is a wonderful, nutrient-dense powerhouse that has been proven to have quite a few benefits associated with it.

However, most importantly for busy moms who work out is that turmeric is full of anti-inflammatory components. And it’s for this reason I love using this turmeric protein smoothie post-workout. Likewise, It helps:

  • replenish your muscles thanks to the protein
  • replace liquids lost from sweat
  • help reduce muscle soreness

But this peach turmeric protein smoothie uses not just turmeric powder to fight inflammation. It also contains ginger and lemon juice. And both of these ingredients have their own anti-inflammatory properties as well (check out all the ways ginger can help you).

 

Which Protein Powder To Use In The Turmeric Smoothie

Since making the swap to a vegan protein powder I now have a few brands I love and Orgain Protein Powder is one of them.

Orgain protein powder is allergy-friendly (no soy, gluten-free, kosher, etc), has no added sugar and no artificial sweeteners, and actually won Preventions Cleanest Packaged Food Award!

Additionally, it has 21 grams of vegan protein per scoop and it’s a clean enough brand that I feel comfortable giving it to my girls. If you want to give it a try, check it out and use code mamabear30 for 10% off your first-ever order.

 

Can I Use Turmeric Root?

For this peach turmeric protein smoothie, I used turmeric powder. However, the root would work just fine. Considering this, remember that turmeric powder is more concentrated than the root so you’ll want more of the root than the measurements of the powder.

That said, most of the time, turmeric powder is simply easier to have on hand as the root does go bad. Personally, I like Organic Traditions Turmeric Powder and keep some on hand.

Organic traditions are a popular superfood brand and I use them frequently because they don’t add anything to their superfoods. Furthermore, they place their focus on quality products as well as quality sourcing. So, they’re a brand I trust.

 

Other Ways To Use Turmeric

Outside of this turmeric protein smoothie, there are lots of ways to bump up your intake your turmeric! Similarly, they’re all tasty too!

The most popular way to use it is Golden Milk (also known as a turmeric tea latte).

This “milk” has gained a great amount of popularity as of late and not just in the health community. Below is a FB live video of my personal favorite version!    

However, you can also make the recipe below and chill it in the fridge and blend it with some ice to make a tasty golden milk smoothie.

Another option is to whip up this Anti-Inflammatory Turmeric Smoothie Recipe. This smoothie is protein-powder free but loaded with herbs to help reduce inflammation. Albeit, It makes a tasty snack or breakfast idea!

Nutrient-Dense Smoothie Recipes

If you’re looking to make healthy eating simple, look no further than my e-book Sunday Smoothies where I’ve gathered 15, tasty, superfood-based recipes perfect for busy moms. Every flavor from classic green goddess smoothies to indulgent chocolate, kiwi to chocolate cherry. Likewise, these healthy smoothie recipes all share a few things in common:

  • They are healthy and simple to make
  • All the recipes are dairy-free and gluten-free
  • All of the recipes are real-food based and focus on nutrients and not fillers
  • They’re loaded with extras in the form of superfoods

My girls and I have a smoothie every day. Mainly, because it makes it simple to load up on healthy fuel while running out the door! As a result, it makes healthy eating LESS stressful and feel like you’re eating ice cream more often by grabbing your copy of Sunday Smoothies (when you click on the button a new window will open that will take you to securely process the payment)

    I’ve got to try this for sure. I know turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties, and with my chronic illness, this would probably help me!

      Yay! Give it a shot and let me know what you think. Turmeric is insanely helpful when taken regularly. If you want pure anti-inflammatory benefits for illness, have you looked into taking curcumin supplements? It’s the main component in turmeric- chat to your doc about it.. or just make super tasty smoothies each day 😀

    I really like adding turmeric to my recipes, so this sounds great! I’ve never had peaches in a smoothie before, but I find most fruit works well in a smoothie. And if not, the next time I think I’ll give mango a try instead.

      No peaches?! I adore peaches in smoothies because they’re one of the fruits that help make smoothies creamy- which is always yummy!

    Great recipe! Omitted orange juice and coconut milk- none on hand. Also, increased milk to a cup, added splash of water and used salted caramel protein powder since that was all I had. Was a bit concerned about the taste but turned out fantastic!!! Do keep in mind that wasn’t very sweet, big plus for me.

      Thanks so much for dropping by with kind words! Ahh salted caramel protein would be delicious in this! Salted caramel protein makes everything better haha I’m with you though, I don’t need things overly sweet. Glad you enjoyed it!
