Vanilla Collagen & Turmeric Smoothie: My Kid’s Favorite
This smoothie is a creamy, rich smoothie with sweetness from the vanilla and a hint of spiciness from the turmeric, ginger, and black pepper. The turmeric and the black pepper act as a powerful anti-inflammatory, while ginger has been proven to be as effective as ibuprofen for pain relief and inflammation.

Instructions:
1. Blend in a high-speed blender, start on low for 15 seconds and then blend on high for 30 seconds or until smooth. If you don’t have a high-speed blender, let the banana defrost five to 10 minutes or add a fresh banana and 1-2 ice cubes.
Chef Carla Notes:
- Have fresh tumeric? Use 1-2 Tbsp finely chopped or grated.
Feliz Latinè Heritage Month! It’s celebrated September 15th through October 15th. I am a proud Latinè, my father is from Chile. I am excited to share my heritage through a paid partnership with Pinterest this month. One of the deepest ways I’ve connected with my Latinè heritage is by drinking ceremonial cacao daily. It’s a plant medicine that has been drunk for thousands of years by the Olmecs, the Mayans, the Toltecs, the Aztecs, the Incas, and other cultures. It’s known as a heart opener and it’s cracked mine wide open to opportunities and the potential of my life.
