This Mango Ginger Smoothie combines ginger’s tangy freshness, light spiciness and warmth, with the sweetness of mango to create a light and refreshing smoothie. It’s quick and easy to make, and perfect for any time of day – breakfast, a post-workout snack or as an afternoon pick-up.
Mango Ginger Smoothie Ingredients
This smoothie recipe includes mango, ginger, banana, kale and cucumber, with added hemp seeds and chia seeds for some extra plant-based protein and healthy fats. Blend these ingredients up with some coconut water, which is a great source of several electrolytes including potassium, sodium and magnesium. These can help to regulate fluid balance, prevent dehydration, and ensure proper muscle function; perfect for replenishing your body after a workout. However, if coconut water is too sweet for you, filtered water will also work.
If you’re wanting to make your smoothie a bit more hearty, you could also add some vegan protein powder or use a plant-based milk. Any plant-based milk will work but I recommend Pure Harvest Coco Quench coconut milk as it’s organic and made from a blend of coconut milk and brown rice, and it also works great in this smoothie.
Fresh or frozen mango will work just fine, depending on the season.
If you don’t have a lot of time during the week, this smoothie is super simple to create for breakfast or a snack. However, if you are more into meal prepping on the weekend, you could make a batch and freeze it into smoothie cubes to make it even easier to whip up a quick smoothie during the week.
