I have a delicious turmeric smoothie for weight loss for you today, that I absolutely love.
This smoothie offers so many other health benefits too, not just weight loss benefits, which is why love making this smoothie.
Is Turmeric Good For Losing Belly Fat?
Yes is the answer, turmeric can help you with weight loss.
There was a study conducted at the University of Tufts, that curcumin, which is a compound found in turmeric, may suppress fat tissue growth.
Turmeric has other benefits that can aid weight loss, such as regulating your sugar levels.
How Much Turmeric Should I Put In My Smoothie?
Turmeric is quite strong in flavor, so if you are wondering how much turmeric you should be putting in your smoothies, the answer is 1/2-1/4 tsp ground turmeric per serving, or 1/4 tsp minced ground fresh turmeric.
You don’t want to add too much, otherwise, your smoothies will come out bitter. Generally, start by adding a small amount to your smoothies and taste them whilst you are making them.
This method is the best for establishing how much exactly works for you.
Can You Taste Turmeric In a Smoothie
Yes, you can taste the turmeric in your smoothies.
The amount of turmeric you add will determine how strong the taste is, but even with low doses, you can still taste hints of it.
Needless to say, if you get your quantities right, the taste won’t be overpowering and you will still be able to enjoy a tasty smoothie even with turmeric in it.
