Happy Monday, friends! Today’s a good day for several reasons. My eBook is on pre-order sale for one more week (check it out here!), the weather’s getting warmer, and March is right around the corner! Like where did February even go???
If you’ve haven’t noticed from reading my other blog posts, I’m not really a fan of the whole winter/cold weather thing. Actually, allow me to clarify….I’m not really a fan of the whole winter/cold weather thing AFTER the holidays! I basically love winter and snow through New Years Eve and expect nothing less than full-on spring starting on Jan. 1st. After all, the weather should be warm when I start eating healthy again, right?
Obviously, it’s a huge disappointment every year as it’s still very much winter. And in Oklahoma, there’s no telling what the day will look like…one day it’s 80 degrees and sunny, the next day it’s 7 and snowing. I think that actually happened pretty recently!
Now I’m not complaining by any means because as a non-winter person, I’m pretty grateful that it’s not as cold here as it is in other places. Shout out to my northern friends! Which is basically everyone other than Texans, for me. But let’s just say that I’m really excited for warm weather and a new season!
Thankfully, spring is right around the corner. And I’m welcoming it with this Golden Glow Pineapple Turmeric Smoothie!
To be honest, I’m just a little bit obsessed with turmeric right now. I mean, just look at this list….
- Turmeric Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps
- Lentil Turmeric Detox Soup
- Vegan Turmeric Ginger Dressing
- Vegan Turmeric Quinoa Power Bowls
- Turmeric Sweet Potato Pasta Salad
Why Add Turmeric to Smoothies?
Turmeric is super healthy, it’s rich in antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties. It’s also been linked to boosting brain function and lowering the risk of brain diseases.
Adding it to smoothies is a super easy way to incorporate turmeric into your diet. You could also try adding it to soup and stews, it has such a unique and warm flavor!
This Golden Glow Pineapple Turmeric Smoothie is also loaded with vitamin C! It’s great for knocking out a cold or keeping your immune system well. And since I’ve been sick THREE times already this year (ridiculous, I know!), it seems that I might need to incorporate more immunity building foods into my diet. This delicious smoothie is absolutely one of my faves!

I love banana and Pineapple !! So tropical. Pineapple always reminds me of my trip to Bali.. They were so fresh and affordable – now I only use canned when I need
Christine McMichael replied:
Me too, always reminds me of warmer weather and vacation days! 🙂
Jennifer A Stewart says:
I need to do more turmeric food too. Since getting older my system needs more of a boost than my normal vitamins can handle. This smoothie looks like a great way to start the morning. Too bad that gorgeous color in the smoothie doesn’t give me a tan from the inside. I’m getting pasty during the winter!
Christine McMichael replied:
Hahaha that would be the BEST! If only. Enjoy the recipe, Jennifer!
