How to Make the Tropical Turmeric Vegan Shake

Recipe Secrets: How to Get That Authentic Kulfi Texture

Want your shake to have that thick, creamy kulfi-like indulgence? Try these tips:

• Use full-fat coconut milk instead of coconut water.
• Freeze the banana beforehand for a denser, creamy texture.
• Add cashew butter or a spoonful of vegan condensed milk for richness.
• Blend longer and chill in the freezer for 5–10 minutes before serving.

Recipe Variations: Customize Your Golden Sip

Here are some creative twists to change things up:

1. Green Detox Version

Add a handful of baby spinach or kale. It changes the color but not the tropical taste!

2. Protein Power Shake

Blend in a scoop of vegan vanilla protein powder or hemp seeds for post-workout recovery.

3. Citrus Boost

Swap lime juice for orange juice to amp up the citrusy zing.

4. Golden Chocolate Twist

Add ½ tbsp raw cacao powder for a sweet-spicy cocoa kick. Works surprisingly well!

5. Kulfi-Style Dessert Smoothie

Use almond milk + frozen fruits + cashew butter + cardamom to mimic the rich kulfi vibe.

6. Creamy Coconut Dream

Use canned coconut milk and top with coconut flakes for a decadent, indulgent treat.

Delicious Ways to Serve & Enjoy

• Smoothie Bowl Style: Pour into a bowl and top with granola, toasted coconut, and fruit.
• On-the-Go Jar: Store in a glass bottle or mason jar for a nourishing drink anywhere.
• Mini Mocktail: Add crushed ice and serve in fancy glasses with mint & a dash of cinnamon.
• With Breakfast: Enjoy it alongside vegan pancakes or avocado toast.
