Ingredient Notes

- Non-Dairy Milk– Feel free to use your favorite non-dairy milk of choice. You can also use coconut water if you prefer.
- Superfood Add-ins (optional) – You can add a variety of superfoods for a healthy boost. A few of my favorites are hemp hearts, maca powder, ashwagandha powder, and cayenne pepper. These all have incredible benefits for your mood, energy, heart, and overall health.
Step-By-Step Instructions
Smoothie are super simple to make! The key to a good smoothie is keeping the consistency thick, creamy, and cold.
Blend the ingredients together in a blender until you have a thick, creamy consistency. If it is too thick, feel free to add more non-dairy milk. Alternatively, if it feels too thin, add a few extra pieces of frozen mango. Taste and adjust the spices and maple syrup.
Pro Tip: Make sure that you are using frozen fruit at the base of your vegan smoothies. Frozen fruit provides thick, ice cream-like consistency. When smoothies aren’t properly chilled, the texture can get thick and slimy.

Serving – Serve your smoothies immediately! Serve with extra pieces of mango, pineapple, or hemp hearts sprinkled over the top.
Storing – Do you have any leftover smoothie? Freeze it in popsicle molds for a healthy midday snack.
