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.
Smoothie Apple Pie: This apple dessert also called Pan di Mele it was a pleasant discovery. I like pies with apples, I have prepared several in this blog, but this one has the advantage of being very fast in preparation (you don't even have to peel the apples!) And the apples are not visible because they are pureed. all the others ingredients they will be inserted into the blender, therefore of an incredible speed! In a maximum of 3 minutes the cake is ready to be baked! In this period, apple pies are perfect, both for breakfast and as a snack for the little ones, if you are attentive to the shape you can reduce the sugar a little, up to 100 grams it remains sweet. Now that my daughter is at home for a long time, she is 7 years old and here the schools have been closed for a couple of weeks, she asks me if she can help me in the kitchen; every now and then in my videos you see little hands pouring ingredients they are hers! For those with small children, preparing desserts and recipes together is a nice pastime, they keep busy, learn to distinguish the ingredients, colors and flavors, and will also appreciate the result of the recipe more, thinking they have made it they will eat it more willingly.

How to prepare the apple pie "Pan di Mele"
We wash them well apples cut them into pieces leaving the peel, remove the ends, core and seeds, pour the pieces into the blender with the juice of the middle lemon, we operate and whisk.
We gradually add the other ingredients to the blender, first sugar and the eggs and we operate to blend, then theseed oil,
the essence of rum, (or a teaspoon of liqueur or cinnamon or lemon peel) and operate the blender / mixer again for a few moments, finally add the flour with the baking powder, and a pinch of salt. We operate the blender for a few more seconds and the dough is ready.
Let's butter and flour one cake pan (I used one from 22 cm) and pour the mixture into the pan.
In the oven at 180 degrees for 35-40 minutes. If the surface darkens too quickly, place a sheet of aluminum foil on the grill at the top level of the oven. To check if the cooking is complete, as always, use a toothpick inserting it into the cake, if it comes out dry the cake will be ready. If there is still some dough attached to the toothpick, then you have to keep a little longer in the oven
Let it cool on a wire rack and add a little icing sugar. Surface cracks are normal! Enjoy your meal!
WINE TO PAIR: Passito di Pantelleria For wine pairing, I consulted the website: www.vinacciolo.it
I’ve pretty much been in smoothie mode recently which is pretty strange since I wasn’t a big fan of them in years past. I always tended to rather eat my food as opposed to drink it. But, with it being 90+ degrees here still in Austin… I figured the best way to get my pumpkin in the start of this Fall would be in the form of a smoothie.
This Pumpkin Pie Smoothie is SO. Damn. Good. There’s just enough spice and pumpkin in there to really get the feel and taste of pumpkin pie. And for well under 300 calories for a full on breakfast? I’ll take it!
