Ingredients
Liquids
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or other milk of choice)
Fruits
- 2 cups mango (frozen, if possible)
- 2 medium mandarin oranges (frozen, if possible)
- 1/4 medium avocado (ripe)
Dairy
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
Flavorings and Seasonings
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- A pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Add Ingredients: Place all the ingredients into a high-speed blender, beginning with the almond milk to help the blending process. Note that if you are using fresh fruit instead of frozen, it’s recommended to use less milk—start with about 1 to 1.5 cups—to achieve a thicker texture.
- Blend Smooth: Blend all the ingredients on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the flavors or liquid amount as needed to reach your preferred consistency and flavor balance. Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant, healthy smoothie!
Notes
- If using fresh fruit instead of frozen, reduce the amount of almond milk to maintain thickness.
- You can substitute almond milk with any milk of your choice such as dairy milk, oat milk, or coconut milk.
- The avocado adds creaminess and healthy fats; ensure it is ripe for best texture.
- Adjust the ground ginger according to your taste preference for spiciness.
- This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours—shake or stir before drinking.
