A vibrant and refreshing smoothie combining sweet mango, earthy turmeric, and zingy ginger for a wholesome morning energy boost.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (165g) fresh mango, peeled and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh turmeric root, peeled and grated
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger root, peeled and grated
  • 1 medium ripe banana, peeled (optional but recommended)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • A pinch of freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ cup ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and chop 1 cup of ripe mango into chunks. Peel and grate 1 teaspoon each of fresh turmeric and ginger. Peel and slice a medium ripe banana if using.
  2. In your blender jar, combine the mango, banana, grated turmeric, grated ginger, 1 cup (240 ml) of almond milk, and 1 teaspoon of fresh lime juice.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup if desired, and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Optionally add ½ cup of ice cubes for a chilled smoothie.
  4. Blend on high speed for about 45-60 seconds until creamy and smooth with no chunks remaining.
  5. Stop and taste. If too thick, add a splash more almond milk and pulse again. If not sweet enough, add more honey or maple syrup.
  6. Pour into your favorite glass or bottle and serve immediately for best flavor and nutrient retention.

Notes

Use fresh turmeric root for best flavor and vibrant color. A pinch of black pepper enhances turmeric absorption. If turmeric stains your hands, rub lemon juice on them. For a vegan version, replace honey with maple syrup or agave. If using frozen mango, reduce or omit ice cubes. Best enjoyed fresh; if stored, shake well before drinking.
