Tasty Cauliflower Turmeric Chowder Recipe

by

CAULIFLOWER TURMERIC CHOWDER 

This Cauliflower Turmeric Chowder is a super easy chowder recipe stacked with carrots, celery, onions, and of course cauliflower. It’s tastily seasoned with turmeric, cumin, garlic, and ginger with a touch of coconut milk to set it off! 

 

This Cauliflower Turmeric Chowder Recipe is a great soup to boost your immune system throughout the flu season. It will warm you up on those cold winter days. It’s delicious and easy to make.

First, coarsely chop up your carrots, celery, and onions. Then use olive oil with a little bit of minced garlic added in to create an absolutely flavorful base for the soup. I actually use this base for almost all of my soup recipes.

As you may already know, turmeric provides anti-inflammatory and powerful antioxidant benefits. You should add more of it to your diet if you haven’t already. There are tons of recipes where it can be added to teas, smoothies, stir-frys, and your soup recipes.

 

For garnish, you can sprinkle celery leaves, cilantro, or parsley to taste. My preference is usually cilantro which I love in my salsa being a Texan. Of course, celery like turmeric provides alkalizing, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. So maybe for the added nutrition and flavor just garnish it with both. If you are into micro-greens and all the additional nutritional benefits they can provide then consider using some of those as your garnish.

 

For such a rich soup, it’s simple and easy to make. The ingredients are readily available at any grocery store. On top of all that, all these ingredients help with detox. Put together a side salad and now you have full soup and salad meal for lunch or dinner! Enjoy!!

Quick Mango Ginger Turmeric Smoothie Recipe

by

MANGO GINGER TURMERIC SMOOTHIE

Quick and Easy Mango Ginger Turmeric Smoothie: Need a fast and easy breakfast or snack? Try this healthy, nutrient-packed smoothie made with mango, turmeric, ginger and oats. It’s great for an on-the-go breakfast!

 

I’m a big fan of smoothies of all kinds. You can find places that serve smoothies of all types and flavors almost everywhere it seems these days.

Not to mention, they can add in ingredients and nutrients that you need but don’t always get on a daily basis. Some people would prefer to have a protein, nutrient packed smoothie for a post-workout meal instead of breakfast. To each their own I say.

 

A smoothie might be a good way to replace that morning coffee that has virtually no nutrients and can be enjoyed on your drive to work.

This delicious Mango Ginger Turmeric Smoothie Recipe is great for maintaining a balanced and nutritious diet with a busy lifestyle made right in the comfort of your own home.

 

Let’s look at the ingredients for this recipe and you’ll see what I mean. First, it has a full serving of fruit which most of us don’t always mange to fit into our meal plans. You also get 8 grams of fiber by adding in healthy Greek yogurt and whole grain oats. It also has 16 grams of protein which really fills you up and helps with post-workout recovery. Finally, you throw in some ginger and turmeric and that’s it. You’re all set to go!

Some additional health benefits of adding turmeric is that regular consumption can help you in the fight against free radicals and inflammation.  Turmeric has long been know for its antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties in other parts of the world.  But it has only recently starting to be used in the United States for these reasons.

 

If you want to mix up your smoothie recipes for breakfast, post-workout, or just to try something new for a delicious, nutrient packed snack then try this Mango Ginger Turmeric Smoothie next time you have a chance.

Yummy Watermelon Orange Ginger Turmeric Juice Recipe

by

Watermelon Orange Ginger Turmeric Juice

This recipe for a Watermelon Orange Ginger Turmeric Juice is a mixed with superfoods – fresh turmeric and ginger is a fruit flavored sensation. No juicer, no problem. You won’t need one for this nifty recipe!

With summer right around the corner, generous portions of food, dessert, and alcoholic beverages will abound. Recently, I’ve started to have a love for juices of all kinds.

Access to juice spots, grocery, and convenience stores everywhere that are embracing the juice phenomenon are making it easy whether at work or home to get the juice you want with little effort. I always grab a cold pressed juice at this place on my short walk to work after getting off the train.

I enjoy coffee as much (if not more) than the next person. But when it comes to nutrients…well there is obviously no competition. It’s a refreshing juice with superfoods mixed in hands down! Just remember, it’s not the least expensive option. Not owning a juicer at home I’ve been a bit leary about making juice at home.

First off, I’m not a big fan of pulp to begin with. It started with orange juice and the dislike has been with me ever since. Taking that one step further and combing and drinking pulp from several different fruits… well let’s just say the thought is less than desirable.

Now then, while my regular old blender that I’ve had for years does the job for most things I couldn’t see it getting the job done here.

I needed a solution.

 

So I decided that instead of an expensive juicer and the works plus the clean up to strain what I made. I just simply blended all my desired ingredients together, then poured the blended ingredients through a strainer, and Voila!

I now was enjoying a nice large glass somewhat frothy and very smooth (how I like it!) watermelon orange ginger turmeric juice. This was an easy, yet inexpensive, home work-around that I go the job done in lieu of using high-powered blenders or juicers despite the small amount of extra time if took to strain the old-fashioned way.

 

Ginger, which is one of my favorite juice ingredients, is not lost in the taste here even with all the blending and straining. You can add ginger to suit your palate. I really like to taste the ginger in the drink so I use a 3-inch knob but feel free to use less.

The same thing goes regarding turmeric. It’s all about the flavor and taste you are seeking. I use one teaspoon of ground turmeric and you can’t miss the taste. It’s not overwhelming in my opinion, but as a turmeric lover, that’s just my personal preference. Consider using to two-thirds of a teaspoon or maybe even a less to begin with until you determine how much you like.

This may only happen is certain areas but I used ground turmeric in this juice since I was have a hard time finding fresh turmeric root in the grocery store.  If you have the availability of and decide to use fresh turmeric, you should use between 1 – 2 inches of fresh turmeric to replace the ground quantity in the recipe below.

As with any recipe, tweak until you get your preferred result! Enjoy!!
