The land of the rising sun…where the sun shines bright and the mood is light…well you certainly can’t say that about the UK. To be honest I wonder if you ever could. Perhaps the land of the darkest star, where the moon falls down and the rains keeps raining and raining and raining would be more adequate don’t you think? In fact, it does seem that the mood and the sky are set…rather dark.
Perhaps you have heard a famous Chinese expression: “May you live in interesting times” and while I try to keep my blog about the positive aspect of a healthy lifestyle and diet it is so hard to ignore the upcoming hardships that we will all have to face in the upcoming years to come. The autumn is coming my dear readers and with it: the negative interest rates, political turmoil, lack of respect for Brexit voters, uncertainty, unemployment and of course a poor rainy weather.
Forgive me for dragging you into economics. It’s just that…I need to confess. I want to confess. I am but a simple girl trying to live a simple life and while I try to do things right and live my life responsibly…I do fear about our future my dear readers and for what there is yet to come. My only hope is that every now and then you find some salvation and comfort in your soul as I share with you my small simple recipes, that unlike the modern world, they are not saturated with corruption and greed but with my own experiences, kindness, love, and respect for mother nature and while I know my blog is but a small and unknown oasis…I do welcome you here very warmly. After all every little helps right :)?
That is to say…I don’t know what to do about the inflation, the corruption and all that madness caused by the selfish elite all over the world but if the history can teach us a lesson then it would seem that the gold is always the answer. From time immemorial it has maintained its purchasing value and it always will …long after we are gone which is why I have decided to protect my wealth and health with this shiny philosophy and I hope you shall do the same.
Thus my dear readers, today I present you with the recipe for liquid gold! A philosopher stone of natural medicine, an inflation-inflammatory superhero, the golden smoothie of all the smoothies also known in its milder version as golden milk, which origin comes to us all the way directly from India’s Ayurveda – natural science of health and life. In fact, the term is derived from the Sanskrit – ancient Indian notes estimated to be over 3000 years old where the words ayur, meaning „life” or „longevity,” and veda, meaning „knowledge” derived from.
My dear reader, your health is your greatest asset and it is always better to prevent than to cure, even if the cure tastes a bit bitter… am I right or am I right 🙂 ?
Thus If you ever drank or will ever drink the golden milk then you certainly will know what I mean. It is really worth giving it a try if you want to hedge your health against the test of time.
The key ingredient of our liquid gold is turmeric plant which is one of nature’s most powerful anti-inflammation fibers and a source of a shiny golden dye. The substance within it known as curcumin works the same as NSAIDs (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ) or hydrocortisone, but without the unwanted side effects like stomach bleeding and ulcers. As a natural ingredient it is widely used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and bring down a high temperature thus golden elixir is also recommended when one is expecting a cold as well as in the prevention of anemia, allergy and rheumatism.
An interesting fact, according to Chinese medicine, turmeric root dries the body of mucilage – thus removing bacterial fauna from your organism which is why you can experience a slight tickling sensation down your throat while you drink it – a bacteria cleansing effect.
Let me assure you, if you indeed experience such a sensation you should not worry about it – it simply means that it is working. Be sure to try this drink, and let me know the effects on your health and body.
Here are the ingredients for the Golden Smoothy Recipe:
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 3 slices of pineapple
- glass of water
- pinch of black pepper
- piece of ginger
- few leaves of baby spinach ( optional )
Preparation:
Just put everything in the blender cup and mix together. Simple right?

This sounds super-interesting. Turmeric is supposed to be super-healthy for you (as is ginger) and blended together with the pineapple and pepper, I bet it would be a satisfyingly sweet combination with just a little kick.
In combination with pineapple, it’s one of my favorite drinks and it also has health benefits 🙂
I love love love pineapple, this sounds amazing! We have a pineapple that I bought for another recipe but there will be leftovers. I have all of this so plan to give it a try soon. My boys enjoy smoothies, so it would be a great healthy option for them.
Pineapple makes this drink really tasty. I wonder if your boys will like it.
Oooo now this sounds like one tasty smoothie!! Looks pretty easy to make too. Definitely need to give your recipe a try
I recommend you try it, it is really easy 🙂
Pineapple looks glamorous on this shot. I will try this recipe some time soon. In this season it will serve as a breath of fresh summer air.
I love when smoothies are healthy and taste good. Also, I’ve been trying to incorporate turmeric to my food, since this is more than an aromatic spice, as it helps take care of the heart, liver and joints!
This is yum and healthy Pineapple smoothie I would love to try to make this smoothie perfect for summer!
I have heard of all the amazing benefits of Tumeric. And if you are stressed and just need something healthy and to help your body to relax, I imagine this would be a great drink for that. Looks delicious.
That recipe sounds amazing! I love pineapple too. I’ll just have to leave out the ginger!
I always try to add a little ginger because of the health benefits, but not too much, because it’s also not my favorite flavor 😉
That’s interesting that the cleansing is a cleansing reaction. I think this sounds good.
Sound like a delicious smoothie and one my family will love!
This is pretty funny, regarding Brexit at least. Tuneric is THE most undervalued ingredient!! I’m so glad you recognize that here!
