Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp honey
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of frozen mango chunks, 1 cup of coconut milk, 1 tsp of turmeric powder, 1 tsp of grated ginger, 1 tbsp of honey, and ice cubes if desired.
- In a blender, add the frozen mango chunks. Ensure they are evenly distributed at the bottom of the blender for optimal blending.
- Pour in 1 cup of coconut milk over the mango chunks. This will provide a creamy texture and enhance the tropical flavor of the smoothie.
- Add 1 tsp of turmeric powder to the blender. Turmeric not only adds a beautiful golden color but also offers numerous health benefits.
- Incorporate 1 tsp of grated ginger. This will add a zesty kick and warmth to your smoothie.
- Drizzle in 1 tbsp of honey for sweetness. Adjust the amount according to your taste preference.
- If you prefer a colder and thicker smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes to the blender.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy. This should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Once blended, taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness or add more coconut milk if needed for your desired consistency.
- Pour the smoothie into two serving glasses. You can garnish with a sprinkle of turmeric or a slice of fresh mango on the rim for an appealing presentation.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Golden Milk Mango Smoothie!
Tips
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for high-quality frozen mango chunks and fresh ginger. The freshness will elevate the taste of your smoothie.
- Adjust Sweetness: Feel free to modify the amount of honey based on your sweetness preference. You can also substitute with agave syrup or maple syrup for a different flavor profile.
- Experiment with Spices: If you want to enhance the health benefits, consider adding a pinch of black pepper with the turmeric, as it helps with absorption.
- Chill Your Ingredients: For an extra refreshing smoothie, chill your coconut milk beforehand or use frozen mango chunks straight from the freezer.
- Blend to Perfection: Ensure you blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth. If your blender struggles, add a little more coconut milk to help it along.
- Presentation Matters: Garnish with a sprinkle of turmeric or a slice of mango on the rim of the glass for a stunning presentation that will impress your guests.
- Make it a Meal: Add a scoop of protein powder or a handful of spinach for a nutritious boost, turning your smoothie into a complete meal.
