It's now possible to transport yourself to a tropical paradise without stepping foot on a plane. This adaptogenic, piña colada-inspired smoothie featuring our Turmeric Functional Blend is from our Smoothie Horoscope collection (hello Gemini!). It's packed with flavor and superfoods that are loaded with antioxidant power and help ease the body's stress response, support digestion and relieve inflammation. And frozen, it makes a very very good popsicle :)
