Carrot Turmeric Ginger Smoothie

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial flowering plant of the ginger family, Zingiberaceae, native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia.

It is believed to have many health benefits due to its medicinal and anti-inflammatory properties and anticancer effects. It has been linked to the successful treatment of  a variety of inflammatory conditions, such as lupus, osteoporosis arthritis and Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
