- ¾ c coconut water
- 1 inch ginger sliced
- ⅛ teaspoon Turmeric
Instructions

- Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Choose the right orange: For this tropical smoothie recipe, I recommend using a navel orange. They are sweet, seedless, and have low acidity, which makes them perfect for smoothies.
- Customize the turmeric: If you're a fan of turmeric, feel free to add a bit more to your smoothie. Turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and can give your smoothie a lovely, vibrant color.
- Extra Protein: If you want to make this smoothie a more filling meal, you can add a scoop of your favorite protein powder. Just be sure to choose a flavor that complements the tropical fruit in the smoothie.
- Peanut Butter: If you have a peanut allergy or prefer a different nut butter, feel free to use almond butter or cashew butter.
- Refrigerate: If you have any leftovers of this tropical sunshine smoothie, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This will keep the smoothie fresh and safe to consume for up to 24 hours.
- Freeze: Unfortunately, it's not recommended to freeze this smoothie, as it can alter the texture and flavor of the tropical fruit blend.
