Looking for healthy smoothie recipes? Try this Anti-inflammatory Smoothie, Orange Pineapple Protein Smoothie with Turmeric Powder and lemon. It has probiotics and prebiotic fiber, and no added sugar. It is also a protein smoothie that will keep you fueled during your summer activities and offers a ton of health benefits: immune system support strengthened bones and does wonder for the eyes and skin. It can help with digestion and If you are looking for a meal replacement smoothie, snack, or just a post-workout recovery drink then look no further.
One of the main key ingredients of this Orange Pineapple Protein Smoothie is Bob's Red Mill Vanilla Nutritional Booster, a plant-based wholesome protein powder with an excellent source of protein (20g per serving), fiber, probiotic and prebiotic fiber. It's also gluten free, vegan, a good source of omega-3, and iron. Bob's Red Nutritional Booster is becoming my new favorite protein powder because it's easy to blend in shakes and smoothies like this one and enhances the taste, whereas many other protein powders detract from (or completely ruin) the taste of a drink. To add to that, with other powders you have to drink it right away after blending and even then it doesn’t break down that well or take to the other ingredients, which then contributes to that chalky taste sensation that I personally dread. Bob’s Red Mill products are very different in that they break down to a better consistency. It comes down to the ingredients, which brings up another huge differentiator in that Bob’s Red Nutritional Booster uses Monk fruit as a natural sweetener. Delicious!
This may very well be the best tasting smoothie I’ve ever made and I’m confident that most of you will love it. Picking the right booster is essential, as is making sure you choose a ripe pineapple. To do so, tune in with your senses: smell the pineapples and choose the one that has a sweet scent. It should be heavier than others of similar size, as those are juicier. Squeeze them to find the one that is just firm enough, and of course look at the pineapple’s color.
This is the latest of many turmeric recipes that I’ve posted and will continue to post. The more I learn about its benefits the more I've blown away. Depending on the amount of turmeric you add it can bolster the taste of an entire dish or, as is the case with this smoothie, just give it a slight hint of flavor. My son is not a huge turmeric fan (yet), but he drank this smoothie down and asked for more. On that note, this is a kid-friendly smoothie and can be easily modified around someone’s preferences.

I really love trying new products and I love smoothies because they are delicious and so filling. I have not tried orange-pineapple, and I wish we had these products available here in Austria.
