Ingredients:

  • 1.5 cups frozen mango chunks
  • 0.5 frozen banana, peeled
  • 0.5 cup frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1 cup unsweetened canned coconut milk
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 0.5 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp raw honey

Instructions:

  1. Place your blender jar in the freezer for 2 minutes. Note: This prevents the friction of the blades from warming the smoothie.
  2. Pour the 1 cup unsweetened canned coconut milk and 1 tsp fresh lime juice into the bottom. Note: This creates a vortex that pulls the frozen ingredients down.
  3. Add the 1 tsp ground turmeric, 1 pinch ground black pepper, and 1 tsp raw honey.
  4. Grate the 0.5 tsp fresh ginger directly over the liquid. Wait until the aroma hits you—it should smell sharp and bright.
  5. Drop in the 0.5 frozen banana. Note: Banana acts as a natural emulsifier, binding the water and fat together.
  6. Add the 1.5 cups frozen mango chunks and 0.5 cup frozen pineapple chunks.
  7. Turn the blender on its lowest setting for 10 seconds until the fruit begins to break down into a slush.
  8. Ramp up to maximum speed for 45 to 60 seconds until the mixture looks completely silk and vibrant yellow.
  9. Stop and stir with a long spoon to ensure no hidden mango chunks remain.
  10. Divide between two glasses and consume immediately while the frost is still visible on the glass.
