Mango Smoothie with Turmeric image

Turmeric's properties have been widely used in ancient healing systems and now everyone's catching on. The small brown-skinned root is in the spotlight for its anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties. Here, turmeric's vivid golden color and bright flavor add depth to a sweet tropical smoothie. (A little goes a long way, so try starting with less of the spice until you get used to the flavor.)
