Turmeric has been so buzzy for so long that it has finally made its way to the Starbucks menu. And it’s no wonder why people love the spice: You can use turmeric to help with everything from tooth whitening and skin brightening to bloat busting.
An obvious upside of turmeric’s popularity is the abundance of bright and beautiful recipes that feature the anti-inflammatory ingredient, meaning you can whip up a morning (or bedtime!) turmeric smoothie from the comfort of your own kitchen—and, of course, post the vividly hued concoction to social media.
