A quick and easy smoothie blending frozen mango, turmeric, and homemade spinach-ginger cubes for a healthy, vibrant energy boost.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Β½ cups (225g) frozen mango chunks (unsweetened preferred)
  • 68 spinach & ginger cubes (made from 1 cup fresh spinach and 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger blended with water and frozen)
  • Β½ teaspoon turmeric powder
  • A pinch of black pepper
  • 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk (or oat/coconut milk)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare Spinach & Ginger Cubes (if not done ahead): Blend 1 cup fresh spinach, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and 2 tablespoons water until smooth. Pour into ice cube trays and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  2. Measure Ingredients: Gather 6-8 spinach-ginger cubes, 1 Β½ cups frozen mango chunks, Β½ teaspoon turmeric powder, a pinch of black pepper, 1 cup almond milk, 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional), and 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice.
  3. Blend the Smoothie: Place frozen mango chunks and spinach-ginger cubes into the blender. Add turmeric, black pepper, almond milk, lemon juice, and sweetener if using. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed.
  4. Check Consistency and Flavor: Add more almond milk if too thick. Taste and adjust sweetness or lemon juice as desired.
  5. Serve Immediately: Pour into a glass and enjoy. Optionally garnish with a sprinkle of turmeric or fresh mint leaf.

Notes

Freeze spinach and ginger together to mellow ginger’s punch and evenly distribute flavor. Use ripe frozen mango for natural sweetness. Don’t skip black pepper to enhance turmeric absorption. Blend in stages if blender struggles. Adjust almond milk slowly to control thickness. Avoid fresh turmeric root to prevent gritty texture. Store leftover smoothie in fridge up to 24 hours or freeze in popsicle molds. Reheating is not recommended.
