Start your morning with a vibrant kick! The Zesty Sunrise Smoothie combines the creamy sweetness of bananas with the zesty tang of lemon, the warming spice of ginger, and the anti-inflammatory power of turmeric.

Perfect for busy mornings or a midday reset, this smoothie delivers both taste and health benefits in every sip.
Ingredients:
1 ripe banana (frozen for a creamier texture)
Juice of 1 fresh lemon
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger (or ½ tsp ground ginger)
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your choice of plant-based milk)
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
A pinch of black pepper (enhances turmeric absorption)
A few ice cubes (optional, for a colder smoothie)
Directions:
Prepare ingredients by peeling the banana, juicing the lemon, and grating the fresh ginger.
Add all ingredients into a high-speed blender: banana, lemon juice, ginger, turmeric, almond milk, sweetener (if using), black pepper, and ice cubes.
Blend on high for 30-60 seconds or until smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust sweetness or spice as desired.
Pour into a glass, garnish with a lemon slice or sprinkle of turmeric if desired, and enjoy immediately.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Best Served Fresh: This smoothie tastes best when consumed right after blending.
On-the-Go Option: Store in a sealed jar or bottle in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking as ingredients may settle.
