This smoothie layers a turmeric-ginger blend with a spirulina-banana blend, swirled rather than mixed for a marbled look. The turmeric side brings warm, peppery brightness while the spirulina side adds a mellow, grassy sweetness, making it a striking breakfast or post-workout drink.

Ingredients

  • 1 frozen banana, sliced
  • 1/2 cup frozen mango chunks
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 frozen banana, sliced
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon spirulina powder
  • 1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt

Method

  1. In a blender, combine the frozen banana, mango, orange juice, turmeric, ginger, and honey.

  2. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute, then pour into a tall glass and set aside.

  3. Rinse the blender, then combine the second banana, almond milk, spirulina, spinach, and Greek yogurt.

  4. Blend on high until smooth and bright green, about 1 minute.

  5. Slowly pour the spirulina blend into the glass alongside the turmeric blend, tilting the glass slightly to create a swirled, marbled effect.

  6. Drag a thin straw or skewer gently through the surface once or twice to enhance the swirl pattern, then serve immediately.
