Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup frozen mango chunks
  • 1 small ripe banana
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh turmeric or ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup optional
  • ½ teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Method
 

  1. Pour the almond milk into a blender.
  2. Add frozen mango chunks and banana.
  3. Grate in the turmeric and ginger.
  4. Add chia seeds.
  5. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy.
  6. Taste and add honey or maple syrup if needed.
  7. Add a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.
  8. Let the smoothie sit for 2–3 minutes to allow chia seeds to thicken slightly.
  9. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • For a thicker smoothie, let it sit longer so chia seeds swell.
  • Fresh turmeric adds a brighter flavor and color, but ground turmeric works fine.
  • Adjust sweetness with honey, maple syrup, or dates based on taste.
  • Can be made ahead for meal prep by storing in a sealed jar (add chia last for best texture).
