by Steph Sunshine at StephSunshine.com

Yield 1 smoothie (about 2 1/4 cups or 500 mL)

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time a minute

Total Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups frozen mango chunks
  • 1/2 ripe banana, frozen
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup passion fruit pulp (from about 2 fruits)
  • 1/4 cup raw, unsalted cashews
  • 1/2 tablespoon fresh ginger root, grated
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric (or 1 tablespoon of fresh turmeric, grated)

Instructions

  1. Add all your ingredients to a blender and cover. Start your blender off on low speed and gradually increase the speed until you have a smooth and creamy smoothie! (You can also just use smoothie mode on your blender, if it has it.)
  2. Pour your smoothie into a glass, and enjoy!

Notes & Hints

I've found that I don't need to soak my cashews for this recipe, however if you want to soak them so they'll blend up even smoother, just put them in hot water for 10 minutes, then drain.

Cashews and water can be replaced with 1/2 cup of high-fat non-dairy milk. (Fat helps your body absorb the curcumin from turmeric.)
