Golden Milk Smoothie

A creamy, spiced golden milk smoothie with turmeric, warming spices, and honey for natural sweetness.
Prep Time10 minutes
Total Time10 minutes
Servings: 2 smoothies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk or any milk of choice
  • 1/4 cup cashews see notes
  • 1 cup frozen banana coins see notes
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/16 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon honey see notes
  • 8-10 large ice cubes about 1 cup

Instructions

  • Add the cashews and 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or milk of choice) to a high-powered blender and blend until the cashews are broken down and the mixture is smooth, about 60–90 seconds.
  • Add the frozen banana coins, vanilla extract, ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, salt, honey, and ice cubes to the blender.
  • Blend until completely smooth and creamy, about 60–90 seconds, stopping to scrape the sides if needed so the honey does not settle at the bottom.
  • Check for any chunks and blend briefly again if necessary, taking care not to over-blend to avoid thinning the smoothie.
  • Pour into two glasses and optionally sprinkle a little cinnamon on top. Serve immediately.

Equipment

  • High-powered blender (or regular blender if cashews are soaked first)

Notes

  • Use a high-powered blender to break down cashews without soaking them.
  • If using a regular blender, soak cashews first before blending.
  • Dry-roasted cashews add extra flavor.
  • Use fully ripe frozen bananas for the best sweetness and texture.
  • Honey balances the flavors—don’t skip it.
