Ingredients

• 1 can low-fat coconut milk

• 1 large frozen banana
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
• 1 tablespoon flax seeds
• 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric

Tips and Notes

For this rich and satisfying smoothie, a can of coconut milk is preferable to the cartons of coconut-based nondairy milk that are typically found in refrigerated sections at co-ops. For a thicker, richer version, substitute regular coconut milk for low-fat.
