Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) frozen mango chunks
  • 1 cup (150g) frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1 medium ripe banana
  • 1 cup (30g) fresh spinach
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup (60g) Greek yogurt (optional, use dairy-free for vegan)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/4 cup (40g) fresh berries (blueberries or raspberries)
  • 1 tablespoon toasted pumpkin seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: peel and slice the banana, grate fresh ginger, and have Greek yogurt at room temperature if using.
  2. In a high-speed blender, combine frozen mango chunks, frozen pineapple chunks, sliced banana, fresh spinach, and almond milk.
  3. Add ground turmeric, grated ginger, and chia seeds to the blender.
  4. Optionally add Greek yogurt or a dairy-free alternative for extra creaminess and protein.
  5. Blend on low speed, then increase to high until the mixture is silky smooth and thick. Add more almond milk if needed, but keep it thick enough to hold toppings.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding honey or maple syrup if desired, then blend briefly again.
  7. Pour the smoothie mixture into a wide serving bowl.
  8. Top with fresh berries, toasted pumpkin seeds, and extra chia seeds if desired.
  9. If the smoothie bowl is too runny, freeze for 5-10 minutes before adding toppings.

Notes

Let frozen fruits thaw for 5 minutes before blending for a smoother texture. Toast pumpkin seeds before serving for extra flavor. Rinse blender immediately after use to prevent turmeric staining. Adjust liquid quantity to maintain thick consistency suitable for a smoothie bowl.
