Golden smoothie: the smoothie with all the energy of turmeric – Gordon Ramsay’s version

This Golden Smoothie it is a 100% vegetable smoothie, delicious and colourful, perfect for an energy-filled breakfast, a post-workout or a nutritious and healthy snack.

From golden milk to golden smoothie

As well as for the Golden Milk, the Golden Smoothie is also prepared with a base of spices toasted in coconut oil, to be diluted in a vegetable drink. In the case of the “milk” version, the turmeric, ginger and black pepper batter will be dissolved in the hot vegetable drink (rice, soy, oats, almond, coconut…). In this creamier fruit version, you can add your favorite, strictly very cold, preferably partially frozen.

There are many options: I advise you to always use a banana as a base and to use seasonal fruit. My favorite combos are banana and coconut milk, with crunchy flakes, to add a chew, or banana and peach or apricot, to emphasize the beautiful yellow color of turmeric.

In fact, the Golden Smoothie is a healthy option rich in nutrients thanks to this extraordinary spice.

There turmericknown scientifically as Curcuma longa, is a fascinating spice native to South Asia. Its bright yellow color is due to curcumin, a powerful antioxidant compound that offers a wide range of health benefits. Among the most distinctive characteristics of turmeric stands out its ability to reduce inflammation, improve digestion and support the immune system.

If it is cold, you can set the oven to this temperature or use other heat sources such as the oven light or a radiator. In some cases, you can opt for a double leavening, with an initial leavening period of 60 minutes, followed by a short kneading and a further rest covered by cling film for 30 minutes.

In addition to the classic recipe, there are different variations of focaccia, such as Apulian focaccia, with cherry tomatoes, with olives or the focaccia with rosemary.
