Ingredients

1 cup non-dairy milk

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Using a sharp knife, cut off the skin of the ginger. With a microplane, grate about 1-2 teaspoons of fresh ginger and set aside.
Combine all ingredients in a high-powered blender and process until completely smooth. If it's too thick, add a little more non-dairy milk. Alternatively, if the smoothie is too thin, add a few more pieces of frozen mango and banana.

Notes

Serving and Storing - Serve your smoothies immediately! If you have leftover smoothie, freeze it in popsicle molds for a healthy midday snack.

Recipe Tips

Make sure your fruit is completely frozen to ensure the right ice cream-like consistency. To freeze the bananas, peel and chop ripe bananas into 1″ pieces. Freeze in a single layer on a baking sheet. When frozen all the way through transfer the banana pieces to a ziplock bag. Return to the freezer and store for up to three months. When ready to use, just toss them in your blender with the rest of your smoothie ingredients.
Blend your ingredients until they are completely smooth. If your smoothie is too thick, add additional non-dairy milk, 2 tablespoons at a time, until you have a pourable consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add spinach to my smoothie? Definitely! Add 1 large handful to your smoothie for added health benefits.
Do I have to use Turmeric? Turmeric adds a wonderful flavor plus many detoxifying benefits. However, if you want to omit the turmeric, feel free to do so!

Variations - For a smoothie bowl, reduce the non-dairy milk by ½ cup and you will have a thicker consistency to be enjoyed through a spoon. Top with hemp hearts, fresh mango, and banana.
