1 large banana

45g whole almonds, soaked in water overnight and drained

½ tsp ground turmeric

¼ tsp ground cinnamon

1 tbsp lemon or lime juice (approx. 1/2 small lemon or lime)

2 tbsp light-flavoured honey (such as acacia)

½ cup water (or more for thinner consistency)

1 cup ice

notes

This is also great with an orange—reduce the water slightly to compensate.
