Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups ripe jackfruit fresh or frozen, seeds removed
- 1 cup coconut milk unsweetened, from a carton
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt plain or coconut-based for vegan option
- 1 tsp ground turmeric high-quality organic preferred
- 0.5 tsp fresh ginger grated
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup for vegan
- 1 pinch black pepper to activate the curcumin in turmeric
- 0.5 cup ice cubes optional for desired thickness
Notes
For the best flavor, use very ripe jackfruit which has a deep yellow color and a sweet, bubblegum-like aroma. If using canned jackfruit, ensure it is packed in syrup or water (ripe), not brine (young/green). Store leftovers in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours, though separation may occur; shake well before drinking.
