Turmeric milk, or Golden milk, is all the rage right now. Turmeric + black pepper + spices + milk + vanilla + sweetener = a fantastic drink that’s not only good for the soul, but also restorative and beneficial for your joints.

As I gear up for my first half marathon race of of the year, I’m all about keeping my joints in tip-top shape. Turmeric milk on its own is fantastic, but I wanted to kick it up a notch and add protein along with the freshness of a juicy, ripe mango.

Whip this up the next time you want a protein-rich, anti-inflammatory boost to your diet!

Mango Turmeric Milk Protein Smoothie

Serves 1 – either bowl or glass

• 1 mango, diced (reserve some to garnish)
• 1 C nondairy milk
• 4-5 ice cubes (if you want this to be a liquid smoothie rather than a bowl)
• 1 serving Nuzest Smooth Vanilla Clean Lean Protein Powder
• 1 tsp spirulina powder
• 1 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut (plus more to garnish)
• 1 tbsp raw pepitas (plus more to garnish)
• 1 tbsp chia seeds (plus more to garnish)
• 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp fresh black pepper (do NOT omit!)
• pinch of ground ginger
• pinch of ground cloves
• 1 tsp cacao nibs to garnish
• 1 tsp hemp seeds to garnish

If you want this to be a drinkable smoothie, be sure to add the ice. You won’t use any garnishes, either. 

Add all ingredients into your blender, minus the optional garnishes if you want to eat this from a bowl with a spoon. Blend on high speed until completely smooth. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula.

Garnish as desired and enjoy!
