Mango-Turmeric Smoothie
You’ll feel like you’re on a tropical vacation when you sip this creamy mango smoothie. And with the addition of turmeric, it’s so much healthier than it tastes!
Probiotic kefir (like a runny yogurt) is excellent for gut health, and turmeric adds an anti-inflammatory boost, not to mention a slightly peppery flavor note. If you can’t find kefir, use plain yogurt; ground ginger stands in perfectly for the turmeric.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup plain kefir
- ¾ cup bottled coconut water or tap water
- 1 ½ cups frozen mango chunks (from a 12-ounce package)
- 1 cup frozen, very ripe banana slices (from 1 banana)
- ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
- Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
- Pinch of kosher salt
Instructions:
Combine all ingredients in a blender, starting with kefir and coconut water. Process until smooth, about 1 minute.
