Golden Glow Smoothie (Paleo, Dairy Free)

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This Golden Glow Smoothie is a refreshing and creamy drink that packs in fresh fruit, veggies, coconut milk, collagen, and turmeric.

I’m not a regular imbiber of morning smoothies ’cause I’d rather eat something savory for breakfast, but sometimes an icy drink hits the spot after a workout or when it’s super hot. When the mood strikes, it’s easy for me to make this tropical smoothie because I almost always have the ingredients in my kitchen.

Plus, drinking my Gold Glow Smoothie takes me back to Maui where I first tried something similar at one of my favorite health food spots—and that’s always a good thing.
