Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 inch fresh gingerroot peeled
- 1 orange peeled and zested
- ¾ cup almond milk or other nut milk
- ½ cup mango frozen
- ½ cup sliced carrots frozen
- 1 tbsp raw honey
- 1 tsp turmeric, ground
- 1 serving homemade protein powder optional
Instructions
- Place ginger, orange and almond milk in blender. Blend until smooth.
- Add remaining ingredients and blend until creamy.
Notes
- Fresh vs. dried turmeric: Fresh turmeric root gives this smoothie a brighter, peppery flavor and extra nutrients, but if you can’t find it, ground turmeric works just fine.
- Boost the creaminess: Swap almond milk for coconut milk if you want an ultra-rich, tropical vibe.
- Add natural sweetness: If your smoothie tastes a little too zesty, add half a banana, a couple of Medjool dates, or a splash of maple syrup.
- Make it cold + refreshing: Blend in a handful of ice cubes or frozen fruit (like mango or pineapple) to turn this into a frosty treat.
