A vibrant and energizing smoothie combining tropical mango sweetness, anti-inflammatory turmeric, and protein to fuel your pre-workout routine with clean, natural energy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup ripe mango, peeled and diced (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh turmeric root, peeled and finely grated
  • 1 scoop (about 25g) plant-based or whey protein powder
  • 1 cup (8 fl oz) coconut water
  • ½ cup (4 fl oz) plain unsweetened Greek yogurt (or dairy-free coconut yogurt)
  • ½ teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 45 ice cubes
  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice about 1 cup of ripe mango. Peel and finely grate 1 teaspoon of fresh turmeric root and ½ teaspoon of fresh ginger if using. Measure out ½ cup of Greek yogurt and 1 cup of coconut water.
  2. Place the mango, grated turmeric, ginger, protein powder, Greek yogurt, coconut water, honey or maple syrup (if using), and a pinch of black pepper into your blender.
  3. Blend on high speed until the mixture is creamy and no chunks remain. If the mixture seems too thick, add more coconut water one tablespoon at a time to reach your desired consistency.
  4. Toss in 4-5 ice cubes and blend again until the smoothie is chilled and frothy.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness by adding more honey/maple syrup or coconut water as needed and blend again.
  6. Pour into your favorite glass or reusable bottle and serve immediately.

Notes

Use fresh turmeric root for brighter flavor; substitute ½ teaspoon turmeric powder if fresh is unavailable. For dairy-free or vegan, use plant-based yogurt and protein powder. Add chia or flaxseed for extra fiber. Clean blender immediately to avoid turmeric stains. Adjust sweetness to taste.
