Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach packed tightly
- 1.5 cups frozen mango chunks provides a creamy texture
- 1 medium banana ripe or frozen for extra thickness
- 1 inch fresh ginger root peeled and roughly chopped
- 0.5 inch fresh turmeric root peeled; or 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
- 1.5 cups unsweetened coconut water can substitute with almond milk
- 1 tbsp hemp seeds for plant-based protein and healthy fats
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavors
- 1 pinch black pepper essential to activate the curcumin in turmeric
Notes
Storage: Best enjoyed immediately. If making ahead, store in an airtight mason jar for up to 24 hours; shake well before drinking as separation is natural. Substitution: Use 1/2 cup Greek yogurt instead of hemp seeds for a creamier, protein-rich version. Tip: Peel ginger and turmeric easily using the edge of a metal spoon.
