Turmeric Coconut Banana Smoothie

Oh my goodness...I've been obsessed with this smoothie for at least two weeks now. If you haven't used turmeric in a smoothie before, then the first sip will be a bit of a surprise. Trust me it's a good thing, turmeric has somewhat of a warm earthy taste with a hint of black pepper like flavour. Plus it has amazing health benefits, such as the potential to prevent heart disease, Alzheimer's and cancer. It's a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant and may also help improve symptoms of depression and arthritis. Wow right???
