- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger

- Gather all the ingredients: 1 cup of coconut milk, 1 ripe banana, 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon of ginger, and 1/2 cup of ice.
- Peel the banana and break it into smaller pieces to make it easier to blend.
