Golden Milk Smoothie

This is a wonderful, simple smoothie recipe that helps to reduce inflammation throughout the body, plus it has some amazing antioxidants! While you can use fresh ginger and turmeric root, this recipe is nice because it gives alternatives for using ground spices so it’s easier to make in a pinch.
