A tropical smoothie with mango and orange, with bright turmeric flavors. This anti inflammatory smoothie is a great way to cool off.
Calories: 326kcal
Ingredients
- 1 banana quartered and frozen
- 1 mandarin orange seedless, peeled, frozen
- 1/2 cup mango frozen
- 1/2 cup zucchini fresh or frozen, chopped
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup coconut milk (full fat, canned)
- 2-3 ice cubes
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger powder *some ginger powders are very hot - use 1/8 t
- unflavored protein powder optional
Instructions
- Add all smoothie ingredients, except ginger and turmeric, to a blender. I used a standard (not high speed) blender for this, and the orange blended just fine whole!
- After all ingredients are smooth, add turmeric and ginger. I've made this with both powdered spices and fresh, and I prefer powdered turmeric and fresh ginger. Fresh turmeric is the most powerful, but I don't like the strong taste in smoothies. It's possible that adding a touch of maple syrup or honey would help mellow the taste if you'd like to use fresh for the health benefits.
Notes
*You can sub 3/4 cup almond milk in place of the water and coconut milk if you don't have coconut milk. However, I prefer the creaminess of the coconut.
