Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 frozen ripe banana
- ¾ cup frozen diced mango
- ¾ cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 ¼ cup light coconut milk, plus more to thin as necessary
- 1 tablespoon fresh grated turmeric (or ½ teaspoon ground turmeric)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Optional Add-Ins
- 1-2 teaspoons fresh grated ginger
- 1 cup spinach
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the main ingredients — frozen banana, frozen mango, frozen pineapple chunks, light coconut milk, fresh grated turmeric, lemon zest, and fresh lemon juice. If using, prepare optional add-ins such as fresh grated ginger and spinach.
- Add to Blender: Place all ingredients, including any optional add-ins, into a high-powered blender. This is crucial to ensure a smooth texture when blending fibrous and frozen ingredients.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the ingredients on high speed until completely smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, gradually add more coconut milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass immediately and enjoy the fresh tropical flavors packed with the benefits of turmeric. This recipe serves one; you can double the ingredients to make two servings.
Notes
- For best flavor and nutrition, use fresh grated turmeric, but ground turmeric can be used as an alternative.
- The frozen fruit can be adjusted according to preference or availability.
- Add optional ginger for extra zest and anti-inflammatory benefits.
- Spinach adds a nutritional boost but will mildly change the color of the smoothie.
- Adjust coconut milk quantity to achieve desired thickness.
- Consume immediately for best taste and nutrient retention.
