Table to Blender™

Serve this vibrant smoothie as a nourishing breakfast or afternoon snack for the family.
For those needing softer textures or additional calories during recovery, blend until completely smooth and slightly thicker than a traditional smoothie. For a spoonable version, reduce the almond milk slightly and add 1 teaspoon chia seeds. For a drinkable recovery shake, increase the liquid by ¼–½ cup.
Because this recipe is naturally blended, it transitions effortlessly between the family table and recovery nutrition.

Reset Kitchen Notes

Turmeric can quickly overpower a smoothie if too much is used. One teaspoon provides anti-inflammatory benefits while allowing the sweet blueberry flavor to remain front and center.
For additional protein during recovery, add vanilla protein powder. For extra calories, increase almond butter to 2 tablespoons. If you're introducing turmeric to children or sensitive palates, begin with ½ teaspoon and gradually increase over time.
