Inspired by Detoxinista's Chocolate Cherry Shake (http://detoxinista.com/2013/04/cherry-chocolate-shake-vegan/) and a recipe for a turmeric tea (cannot find the link to the news story of my local Whole Foods Market).
1 very ripe banana (more brown than yellow), peeled and frozen
1/2 ripe avocado
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Dash of cayenne (optional)
Freshly ground black pepper (optional)
1/2 to 1 cup of water, depending on how thin you want your shake
Blend everything until smooth.
*It has been suggested that to black pepper assists in reaping the health benefits of turmeric.
