Start by adding a scoop of ice to your blender, followed by coconut milk, coconut oil, turmeric, ginger, and honey. Honey adds sweetness to the smoothie, balancing the turmeric’s bitterness. Manuka honey is the holy grail of honey, so if you can get your hands on it, use it in this smoothie. Manuka honey has incredible anti-viral properties and contains up to four times the amount of minerals found in ordinary honey. Blend on high speed, stopping to scrape the sides of the blender occasionally with a wooden spoon. Pour the smoothie into a tall glass and stir in chia seeds. With their plump, pearlescent texture, chia seeds add a bubble tea consistency to smoothies. Let the seeds sit for a few minutes so that they can “bloom.”
