Ingredients
Scale
Liquid Base
- 2 cups almond milk, unsweetened (or other milk of choice)
Fruits
- 2 cups mango (frozen, if possible)
- 2 medium mandarin oranges (frozen, if possible)
- 1/4 medium avocado (ripe)
Other Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- A pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender, starting with the almond milk. Note that if you are using fresh rather than frozen fruit, you might want to reduce the amount of milk to 1 to 1.5 cups to achieve a thicker consistency.
- Blend Smooth: Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the flavors or amounts of liquid as needed to reach your preferred taste and texture. Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy smoothie!
Notes
- Using frozen fruit helps achieve a thicker, colder smoothie texture.
- If using fresh fruit, reduce the liquid to prevent the smoothie from being too thin.
- The avocado adds creaminess and healthy fats but can be omitted for a lighter smoothie.
- Adjust ginger and vanilla to taste for more or less spiciness and sweetness.
- Almond milk can be substituted with any other milk or milk alternative.
