4. It’s Quick and Easy

Our orange turmeric ginger smoothie takes just five minutes to make but can help you feel bright and vibrant all day long.

That also means you can easily make up a batch to keep in the refrigerator for the next few days or have this recipe as a fallback for those mornings when you treat yourself to an extra 30 minutes in bed even though you need to be on the way to the office.

5 Pro Tips and Variations

As we always say, while we love our recipes, we love it when you use them as a starting point for your own tasty creations. Here are five variations you can try to get you started.

1. Dial Up the Creaminess

The recipe mentions adjusting how much of our Cashew Milk you add to the recipe until you get the consistency you like.

Want another great tip to help you dial up the creaminess? Try adding another banana for an even richer texture. If you like it super-thick, keep going until it's almost like ice cream, sprinkle oats on top, and have it as a smoothie bowl!

2. Make it a Post-Workout Treat

If you like a smoothie as a post-workout pick-me-up, add a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder to aid your recovery and help you hit your fitness goals.

Remember to add an extra splash of Cashew Milk if the protein powder thickens your drink too much!

3. Feel the Glow

Smoothie not quite sweet enough or looking to unlock some extra flavor?

Try adding a pinch of ground cinnamon or a drizzle of maple syrup to bring further glow to your drink.

4. Freeze It Up

An easy variation – and a way to get young ones consuming something healthy and nutritious – is to turn your smoothie into an ice cream or popsicles.

5. Try a Different Plant Milk

The natural creaminess of our plant-based Cashew Milk makes it our first choice for this recipe, but that doesn’t mean you can’t experiment with others.

Try your favorite Plant Milk from our range to get the perfect taste and texture for you.

Get to It!

We could talk about it all day, but we know you’re really here for the recipe!
