- 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds

Notes
- Why the Black Pepper?
Black pepper helps enhance the absorption of curcumin, the active compound in turmeric. - Make It Vegan:
Swap the Greek yogurt for coconut yogurt or almond milk yogurt. Choose a variety fortified with calcium and vitamin D for added nutritional support. - Boost the Protein:
Adding collagen peptides or protein powder helps keep you fuller longer and supports steady energy. - Adjust the Texture:
Add more milk for a thinner smoothie or a few ice cubes for a thicker consistency.
