1-2frozen ripe peaches (about 1 ½ heaped cups of frozen peach chunks)
1-inchpieceginger, peeled and chopped
½teaspoonground turmeric
½teaspooncamu camu powder (optional)
¼teaspoonvanilla powder or extract
tiny pinch of sea salt and ground black pepper
½tablespoonfresh lemon juice
¼cupwater
Instructions
In a small bowl, mash the raspberries with a fork until the juices start to release. You’ll be layering this juice in between pours of the smoothie in the glass. You can strain out the seeds or leave them if you don’t mind the texture. Set the raspberry juice/purée aside.
In an upright blender, combine the orange, carrot, frozen peach, ginger, turmeric, camu camu powder (if using), vanilla, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and water. Blend this mixture on high until creamy, thick, and smooth. If your blender came with a tamper, this is a great time to use it!
Pour a third of the smoothie into a glass. Then, pour a third of the raspberry juice on top. Repeat with the remaining smoothie and raspberry juice. Enjoy immediately!

Recipe Notes
You could use frozen nectarine in place of the peaches! Or use frozen mango and pineapple like the original version.
The camu camu powder is definitely optional. It tastes super tangy. Just add a touch more lemon instead if you like!
This vibrant and refreshing smoothie is creamy and sweet, a little bit spicy from fresh ginger and turmeric, with a hint of tart raspberry juice poured between the layers.
