- Combine Ingredients: Place all ingredients into a high-powered blender in the order listed: pineapple chunks, ginger slice, bananas, carrot chunks, coconut milk, coconut water, ground turmeric, and vanilla extract.
- Start Blending: Secure the blender lid tightly and start blending at low speed to initially mix the ingredients without splashing.

Notes
- Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creaminess.
- Frozen bananas can be used to chill the smoothie without adding ice.
- Adjust turmeric quantity according to taste; more turmeric will add a stronger earthy flavor.
- Fresh ginger adds a spicy kick, but can be reduced or omitted for a milder flavor.
- The smoothie is best consumed fresh to prevent oxidation and maintain nutrient levels.
