If you regularly read my posts, you have probably noticed that I am all about getting as much nutrition in the recipes as possible. I tend to use nutrient dense super-foods whenever I cook. I have noticed just how much better I feel and look when I eat this way. My family got used to it as well! Everyone feels a lot more energized and healthy.

Turmeric is an amazing super-food used in Chinese and Indian spice and a natural medicine for centuries. I came up with this smoothie as I wanted to add some color to my smoothie and it turned out to be one of my favorites!

Most of us are used to cook with dry turmeric, but let me convince you why you should consider getting some fresh turmeric root and use it in smoothies and cooking.
