Ingredients
Fruits & Fresh Ingredients
- 1 10 ounce package frozen mango (about 2 1/2 cups)
- Juice from 1 lime
- 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon fresh grated turmeric or 1/2 teaspoon dried turmeric powder
Liquids
- 3/4 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup water
Other
- Pinch of black pepper (optional)
- 2 teaspoons honey (optional – can substitute maple syrup or agave for a vegan option)
Instructions
- Add Ingredients to Blender: Place the frozen mango, lime juice, fresh grated ginger, turmeric, black pepper (if using), coconut milk, water, and honey (if desired) into the blender container.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy, ensuring the mango is fully pureed and the flavors are well combined.
- Taste and Adjust Sweetness: Taste the smoothie and add a little more honey or sweetener if needed, then blend briefly to mix.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie evenly into two glasses and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For a stronger turmeric flavor, use fresh grated turmeric instead of dried powder.
- The pinch of black pepper enhances the absorption of turmeric’s beneficial properties.
- Use coconut milk for creaminess, but any plant-based milk or regular milk can be substituted.
- Adjust sweetness with honey, maple syrup, agave, or omit sweeteners for a more tart smoothie.
- This smoothie is best enjoyed immediately but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours; stir well before drinking.
