I took one sip. And then—just like that—the glass was empty!?

"Who drank my coconut smoothie?" I murmured, looking around. Merlin, our boy cat, looked at me calmly, clearly innocent. He doesn't touch anything that's not his food or, oddly, the myrtle plant. Mim, our cutsie foodie cat, was nowhere to be seen. So, it must've been … ME? I must have inhaled the whole thing.

I mean, I get it. This smoothie? Hands down, the best sweet, creamy smoothie.

Ok, creamy doesn't even describe it. It's the kind of creamy that makes one feel guilty. Velvety-coconut-milk-and-ripe-bananas kind of creamy. Add in some oats and—maybe—flaxseeds or chia seeds, and you reach level 1000 of creaminess game. Rich and smooth, you could almost get this confused for a milkshake, but this is healthy. No added sugar here, just PURE. NATURAL. SWEETNESS.

The heart of this smoothie, though, is the turmeric. The star of the show. The leading lady. The prima ballerina. The ingredient that sets the (flavor) tone and gives this coconut smoothie its unique personality and depth. The slight earthiness from the turmeric adds such a nice touch.

Now, when you bring them all together, all these simple yet wonderful ingredients, you get a drink that feels like a luxurious vacation. Somewhere far away. Maybe the Seychelles. Or Hawaii. Or what about Sumatra?

Ingredients Lineup for This Coconut Smoothie With Turmeric

Not a lot, and a couple are optional. I think you may have most of these in your pantry already.

Turmeric

Only two knobs of fresh turmeric - though ground turmeric is okay too. I used fresh knobs in this smoothie because the flavor is brighter and really shines (pun totally intended 😉).

Coconut milk

Rich, full-fat coconut milk is our pick for today—because indulgence is the name of the game! A whole can of it, we're not messing around (but, I'll admit that we can and should add water to the smoothie).

Bananas

Four large bananas. It’s a lot, but we’re relying on them for sweetness since there’s no added sugar.

Rolled Oats

Perfect for making this smoothie more filling and nutrition-dense. Plus, the added creaminess is welcome.

Flaxseeds or chia seeds (optional)

Not necessarily needed, but they, too, bring more nutritional value and creaminess.

Ginger (optional)

You don't need the ginger, but adding just two slices brings in an extra layer of flavor without making your smoothie over-spicy.

Here we go… And don't be shy—if you try this coconut smoothie with turmeric, I’d love to hear how it turned out in the comments!
