An Inflammation-Fighting Turmeric Smoothie For A Healthy Holiday Season

BY HOLLI THOMPSON
I was on an orange kick the other day, (isn't orange the new black?) and decided to use only orange ingredients for a new smoothie to feature on ABC-TV.
I found fresh turmeric at the market, and decided to give it a whirl in this sweet and spicy smoothie. It was delicious, and I love this new way to use my favorite anti-inflammatory spice.
Turmeric fights inflammation in a big way, and it's being studied for it's effect on various cancers.
