Bright as sunshine but light and refreshing, this Pina Colada smoothie is just what summertime calls for, with every sip a restorative taste of the tropics. Our ORGANIC INDIA Turmeric Formula supports a healthy inflammatory response and has antioxidant properties while adding extra radiance to this naturally sweet, cooling beverage. A staple of Ayurvedic systems for thousands of years, Turmeric is referred to as “the golden root” and is best known for supporting a healthy inflammatory response in the body, promoting healthy joints. Our unique blend combines Turmeric with curcumin and Trikatu, allowing for maximum absorption and optimizing wellness benefits.

The luscious summer season is exceptional in beckoning us outdoors. As inviting as this is, the intensity of long days and warm rays can feel like too much of a good thing, resulting in dehydration, burning, and internal heat known in Ayurveda as Pitta. Find your balance with the light, cooling foods your body naturally gravitates to, like this smoothie.

To keep Pitta in check, Ayurvedic guiding principles embrace fresh, hydrating, summer sweet, raw foods and blended drinks. These contribute to cooling refreshment, without being frigid. Because ice cold drinks can dampen digestive fire, we skip the ice cubes–allowing the pure flavors to shine all the more in this uplifting, soothingly energizing drink.
