Ingredients

1 cup Cape gooseberries hulls removed and rinsed
2 whole large oranges peeled and segmented
1 cup frozen mango chunks for creaminess and natural sweetness
0.5 cup Greek yogurt plain or vanilla
0.5 cup coconut water unsweetened
1 tbsp honey optional, to taste
0.5 tsp fresh ginger grated for a subtle kick
0.5 cup ice cubes optional for a frostier texture

Notes

For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt. If you don't have fresh ginger, a pinch of ground ginger works well too. This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight mason jar in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours—just shake well before drinking as separation is natural.
