I love turmeric for many reasons. For its vibrant colour, for its subtle but distinct taste and for its abundance of health benefits. Among these are anticoagulant and anti-inflammatory properties, arthritis and diabetes management and (drum roll, please) anticancer properties!
Combined with a banana and shaved ice for texture, maple syrup for sweet and almond milk for cream, this shake is a perfect way to start your day or pick-up your afternoon!
