Turmeric Juice Recipe From Our Test Kitchen
Fresh turmeric juice that's easy to swallow
In the spirit of spring cleaning, we're devoting our Test Kitchen recipes this month to detoxification, focusing on foods that purify the digestive system, like antioxidant-rich turmeric. For our first recipe, the Test Kitchen developed a fresh turmeric juice that's smoother than many bottled brands. Orange, carrot, coconut water and agave nectar balance the root's natural bitterness, while lemon and ginger give it a lift. You might make it your daily "orange" juice, if not for turmeric's anti-inflammatory and antibacterial benefits, then for its taste.
