Orange Mango Turmeric Smoothie
Description
This smoothie starts with peeled and sliced fresh produce including carrot, turmeric root, half an apple, and parsley, complemented by frozen mango chunks that provide sweetness and chill. Liquids such as coconut milk, almond milk, and water create a smooth base when combined and blended. Additional nutritional elements like flaxseed meal and collagen powder add thickness and potential health benefits.
Blending technique matters here; starting with liquids helps an average blender combine ingredients effectively, and a tamper tool can assist to achieve a smooth consistency without large pieces. Turmeric root brings an earthy, slightly pungent flavor that can be strong; quantity adjustments are suggested for those unfamiliar with its taste. The parsley adds a green note but can be omitted to keep the smoothie a vibrant orange hue.
Served chilled, this smoothie is a complex blend of flavors ranging from sweet mango and apple to earthy turmeric and fresh parsley. It suits a nutrient-rich breakfast or refreshing snack and can be tailored in strength and color depending on ingredient adjustments.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup Mango frozen
- 1 carrot
- 1 turmeric root small
- 1 coop collagen powder
- 6 ice cubes
- 3 tablespoons coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
- ½ apple
- ⅔ cup almond milk
- ½ cup water
- 1 tbs parsley
Instructions
- Prep (peel and slice) all your veggies and fruits.
- Add everything to the blender and pour the milk in on top
- Tip: if you don’t have an overly powerful blender, place all the liquids in first and then the produce- this makes it easier for the machine
- Blend the contents, gradually increasing the speed. Slowly add in the water. Use a tamper if needed.
- Blend until everything is smooth. Pour into glasses and enjoy!
Notes
- Omitting parsley will result in a brighter orange smoothie color.
- Use a tamper when blending if your blender isn’t especially powerful to ensure smooth texture.
- Turmeric root is potent; start with smaller amounts if unfamiliar with its taste and increase gradually.
- Powdered turmeric can be substituted starting with about half a teaspoon to control flavor intensity.
