Fresh ginger turmeric lemonade recipe made whole foods: fresh ginger and turmeric root and a touch of black peppercorns to boost the absorption of curcumin and stimulate the taste buds.
I’ve experimented with a few variations of this recipe and I finally decided this is the best way to make it and get the most benefits.
Vegan. Gluten-Free. Oil-Free.
Initially I started making it for the Batman so he can stop complaining about inflammation after his workouts, but then I discovered how delicious and refreshing it really is and I’ve been making it on a regular basis. There’s always a bottle or big pitcher of it sitting in our overstuffed fridge.

The video didn’t show the whole content in the ingredient list. I thought it was 1 lemon until I read the ingredient. How would you proportionate to single serving? Lemon rind is remove for this recipe right?
Yes the lemon rind is removed to prevent the lemonade from turning bitter. I’ve never just made one glass of lemonade but you can just divide the recipe by 6 and use those amounts to your liking.
Not a big fan of turmeric but I can drink this lemonade all day long. Very delicious and Quenching, I did add agave to sweeten.
