golden, crunchy and really good for summer

Written By Katelin Dial

You should definitely make this - it doesn’t even require a blender, and it is packed with anti-inflammatory ingredients like turmeric, ginger, and omega-3 rich walnuts, plus antioxidant-loaded blueberries and vitamin C-packed mango.

The recipe comes together in just 5 minutes with simple whisking and chopping, making it perfect for busy mornings or hot afternoons when you need a quick energy boost. The creamy coconut yogurt base gets its gorgeous golden color from turmeric, while fresh tropical fruits and crunchy toppings create a symphony of textures and flavors that feels more like dessert than health food. Keep all ingredients chilled, and you'll have the ultimate summer wellness bowl ready whenever you need it.
