Ingredients
1
cup
frozen mango
(Notes: about 150 g, chunks)
1
frozen
banana
(Notes: medium, for creaminess)
3/4
cup
unsweetened oat milk
(Notes: or other plant milk)
1
tbsp
Greek-style yoghurt (or dairy-free yoghurt)
(Notes: preferably thick yoghurt for body)
1
tsp
ground turmeric
(Notes: fresh grated turmeric root works too)
1
tbsp
fresh lime juice
(Notes: about 1/2 a lime)
1
tbsp
Manuka honey
(Notes: plus extra to drizzle on top)
1
tsp
chia seeds
(Notes: for topping)
to taste
grated lime zest
(Notes: optional, for finishing)
Instructions
Step 1
Add the frozen mango, frozen banana, oat milk and yoghurt to a high-speed blender. Sprinkle in the ground turmeric and pour in the fresh lime juice.
Tip: Use frozen fruit for a thick, smoothie-bowl texture. If fruit is fresh, add a few ice cubes.
Timing: PT0S
Step 2
Blend on high until completely smooth and velvety, pausing to scrape down the sides if needed.
Tip: Blend for about 45–60 seconds in a high-speed blender; stop earlier for a looser consistency.
Timing: PT1M
Step 3
Add the Manuka honey and blend very briefly (5–10 seconds) just to incorporate. This preserves delicate flavour notes.
Tip: Drizzling Manuka honey in at the end keeps its flavour bright — avoid heating it.
Timing: PT10S
Step 4
Pour the smoothie into two glasses. Sprinkle chia seeds on top, grate a little lime zest over each and finish with an extra drizzle of Manuka honey.
Tip: Serve immediately for best texture and flavour. For a bowl, add granola and sliced fresh fruit.
