A quick and easy turmeric mango smoothie that provides a gentle energy boost with anti-inflammatory benefits, combining tropical sweetness with a warm spice twist.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup ripe mango, peeled and chopped (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric (or 1 teaspoon grated fresh turmeric root)
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt alternative)
  • Handful of ice cubes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and chop about 1 cup (150 grams) of ripe mango into chunks. If using frozen, let it sit a few minutes to soften slightly.
  2. Place 1 teaspoon (about 3 grams) of ground turmeric and a pinch of black pepper into the blender.
  3. Add 1/2 teaspoon (about 1 gram) of freshly grated ginger.
  4. Pour in 1 cup (240 ml) of unsweetened coconut milk.
  5. Add 1/2 cup (120 grams) of Greek yogurt.
  6. Drizzle 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of honey or maple syrup if desired.
  7. Add a handful of ice cubes and 1 tablespoon (12 grams) of chia seeds if using.
  8. Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  9. Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness by adding more honey or coconut milk as needed.
  10. Serve immediately, optionally garnished with turmeric powder or mango cubes.

Notes

Use black pepper to enhance turmeric absorption. For creamiest texture, use full-fat Greek yogurt. Let frozen mango soften slightly before blending. Clean blender immediately after use to prevent turmeric stains. Adjust sweetness lightly as mango is naturally sweet. Can substitute coconut milk with almond, oat, or cashew milk (unsweetened).
