Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 whole fresh amla (Indian gooseberries) deseeded and chopped
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks provides natural sweetness and creaminess
- 1 medium banana ripe, for texture
- 1 tsp fresh ginger peeled and grated
- 1.5 cups coconut water chilled
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup for vegan option
- 0.25 tsp black salt optional, for an authentic digestive kick
- 4 leaves fresh mint for a cooling finish
Notes
If fresh amla is unavailable, you can substitute with 1 teaspoon of organic amla powder. For a creamier texture, replace coconut water with plain Greek yogurt. This smoothie is best consumed immediately to maximize Vitamin C retention, but can be stored in an airtight thermos for up to 4 hours.
