- 1 cup non-dairy milk
- 1 large banana sliced
- 1 cup frozen mango
- 1 tbsp. lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons hemp hearts
- 1-2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tsp. freshly ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon turmeric
- pinch of cayenne, optional
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.
