Gingery Mango & Berry Smoothie
A wholesome (banana-free!) smoothie of mangoes, berries, lime, ginger, and coconut, with a hint of spice from cayenne. Satisfying, delicious, and packed with vitamins and nutrients!
Servings 2 (smoothies)
Ingredients
SMOOTHIE
- 2 1/4 cups frozen chopped mango (if fresh, add 1 cup ice)
- 1 1/4 cups frozen raspberries and/or strawberries (I mixed both)
- 1-2 cups light coconut milk or unsweetened almond milk
- 1 medium lime, juiced (~3 Tbsp or 45 ml as original recipe is written)
- 2 Tbsp fresh ginger
- 1 Tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/8 scant tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1-2 Tbsp protein powder of choice or hemp seeds (optional)
FOR SERVING optional
- Coconut Yogurt or full-fat coconut milk
- Berries
- Unsweetened shredded coconut
- Hemp seeds
Instructions
- To a high-speed blender add mango, berries, coconut or almond milk (starting with the lesser amount), lime, ginger, shredded coconut, cayenne pepper (optional), and protein powder of choice (optional).
- Blend on high until creamy and smooth, scraping down sides as needed. If it has trouble blending, add more coconut, almond milk, or water.
- Serve as is or layer with coconut yogurt or milk and top with desired toppings. I prefer berries, hemp seeds, and coconut flake.
- Enjoy fresh or refrigerate leftovers for 3 days. Or store in the freezer (as a smoothie or Popsicles) up to 1 month.
