A quick and easy anti-inflammatory smoothie combining mango, turmeric, and coconut water to boost immunity and provide a refreshing, creamy texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen mango chunks (about 165 g)
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
  • A pinch of black pepper (about 1/16 teaspoon)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) coconut water
  • 1/2 cup (120 g) plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free coconut yogurt (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • A handful of ice cubes (about 5-6 cubes)

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice about 1 cup of ripe mango into chunks. If using frozen mango, no prep is needed.
  2. Grate about 1/2 teaspoon of fresh ginger using a fine grater or microplane.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper to the blender.
  4. Pour 1 cup of coconut water into the blender. Add 1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free coconut yogurt if you want a creamier smoothie.
  5. Add 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup if additional sweetness is desired (optional).
  6. Add a handful of ice cubes for a chilled texture.
  7. Blend on high for 45-60 seconds until smooth and velvety, scraping down the sides if needed.
  8. Taste and adjust consistency by adding more coconut water if too thick, or more mango or ice if too thin, then blend again.
  9. Serve immediately in a glass.

Notes

Use fresh organic turmeric powder for better flavor and potency. Always include black pepper to enhance turmeric absorption. For dairy-free, swap Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt. Blend longer for a smoother texture, especially if using frozen mango. Prepare ahead by leaving out ice and adding it just before serving. Avoid freezing to maintain texture.
