Tropical Turmeric Elixir - Vegan recipe hero image

I first stumbled upon this vibrant elixir during a hot summer morning when I wanted something refreshing yet nourishing.

It’s become a staple in my kitchen because it’s not only packed with goodness but also a little reminder to embrace the sunshine in my life.

I love to sip on this while tending to my herbs in the garden—it makes me feel connected to both my food and the earth.

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

I love using fresh pineapple because it adds such a bright, juicy flavor. If you can’t find fresh, frozen works in a pinch, but it will be a bit thicker. The black pepper may seem odd, but trust me—it enhances the turmeric's benefits significantly!

Tips & Notes

  • I love to keep a batch of fresh ginger in my freezer; it grates beautifully when frozen!
  • If you want an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy twist.

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes, I’ll swap coconut water for almond milk for a creamier texture.
  • If I'm feeling adventurous, I add a handful of spinach for an extra nutrient boost without changing the flavor.

Storage & Freezing

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Just remember, the flavors will intensify, so a little shake before drinking is key!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this elixir ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare it and store it in the fridge for up to two days. Just give it a good shake before you drink.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Start by chopping your fresh pineapple into small pieces. The riper, the better—it’ll give your elixir that sweet punch.

  2. 2

    Peel and grate the fresh ginger. If you're using ground turmeric, you can skip the grating part.

  3. 3

    In a blender, combine the pineapple, grated ginger, ground turmeric, black pepper, coconut water, and lime juice. If you want a bit of sweetness, add the maple syrup.

  4. 4

    Blend everything until smooth. You might need to stop and scrape down the sides to make sure all the goodness is mixed in.

  5. 5

    Taste your elixir and adjust the sweetness or tanginess by adding more lime or maple syrup as needed.

  6. 6

    If you like it chilled, add some ice cubes to your glass before pouring in the elixir.

  7. 7

    Pour into your favorite glass and enjoy your Tropical Turmeric Elixir, soaking in the vibrant flavors and healing properties!
