Notes
Frozen fruit will always result in a creamier smoothie so opt to use frozen peaches if possible.
Adding the ice in last will ensure your smoothie blends better as it's easier for the machine.
Black pepper is not listed in the ingredients, but it does help you ABSORB the curcumin in turmeric.
For this anti-inflammatory turmeric protein shake, I used ground turmeric powder. However, fresh turmeric root works just fine. That said, ground turmeric powder is more concentrated than the root. Begin by using 1.5 tablespoons of fresh turmeric if replacing the powder.
The protein powder you use will alter the taste and texture of the smoothie:
- Beef protein powder: My personal favorite. If you use Equip protein, the smoothie will be sweeter but thicker. If you use Paleo Pro Protein, the smoothie is as close to natural as it gets. Code "mamabear" on both will save you some money.
- Vegan protein powder: If you're using a pea-based protein powder, the smoothie will have a thicker texture, and if using a fermented protein, you'll probably have to add extra liquid. Vegan proteins aren't always sweet so adjust the turmeric shake as needed.
- Egg white protein powder: This will froth your smoothie up a lot.
