Ingredients
1 cup frozen mango chunks
1/2 unit frozen banana
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
Place the frozen mango, banana, Greek yogurt, cinnamon, turmeric, ginger, and black pepper into a high-powered blender.
Pour the chilled almond milk over the fruit and spice blend.
Secure the lid firmly and start the blender on the lowest speed setting to break apart the frozen fruit chunks.
Gradually increase the speed to high and blend until the smoothie reaches a thick and creamy consistency.
Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Notes
Use ripe fruit for the best natural sweetness. For a dairy-free version, simply substitute the Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt. If you prefer a more intense flavor, you can replace the ground spices with 1 tablespoon of freshly grated turmeric and 1/2 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger. Ensure your almond milk is well-chilled before blending for a better texture.
