Turmeric Smoothie/Shake Recipe

Serves:

Ingredients

¼ cup (1oz/30g) hemp seeds
1 cup (5oz/150g) frozen mango chunks
½ banana
1 tbsp coconut oil
2 tsp shredded ginger root
2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp chia seeds
½ – ¾ tsp turmeric (use either ground fresh root or powder)
½ tsp ground cardamom powder

Method

1. Hemp seed milk is a quick milk to make. Unlike almond milk, which requires the nuts to be soaked, you don´t have to soak the seeds. Use 1 part hemp seeds to 3–4 parts water.

2. Put the hemp seeds and ¾ cup (6 fl oz/175 ml) water into a blender and blend until you have your hemp seed milk. Add the remaining ingredients to the blender and blend until smooth. Pour into glasses and serve.
