Ingredients & Substitutions
Fresh ginger and turmeric can be found in most grocery stores. If you can’t find fresh turmeric, don't worry; the ground version works just as well. I often keep a stash of frozen fruit on hand, especially mango and pineapple, for smoothies like this.
Tips & Notes
- •I love to keep my bananas in the freezer – they’re perfect for smoothies and stay fresh for longer.
- •If you want to up the creaminess, sometimes I'll add a tablespoon of chia seeds. They blend right in and give a nice boost of nutrition.
Recipe Variations
- •You can switch up the fruit based on what you have – I’ve tried this with papaya and it’s heavenly.
- •For a protein boost, add a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder!
Storage & Freezing
This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, you can store it in the fridge for up to a day. Just give it a good shake before drinking, as it may separate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use ground ginger instead of fresh?

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Start by peeling the ginger and turmeric roots. I like to use a spoon to scrape off the skin; it makes it easier.
- 2
In a blender, combine the frozen mango and pineapple chunks. These tropical fruits really make this smoothie sing.
- 3
Add the chopped ginger and turmeric to the blender. If you're using ground turmeric instead, just toss in a teaspoon.
- 4
Next, peel and add the banana. If you haven’t frozen it, that’s okay; it’ll just be a bit less creamy.
- 5
Pour in the coconut milk. This is where the creaminess comes from, and it pairs beautifully with the tropical flavors.
- 6
If you like your smoothies a little sweeter, drizzle in the maple syrup.
- 7
Throw in the ice cubes for that refreshing chill and blend everything until smooth. I usually blend for about 30-60 seconds.
- 8
Taste it! If it needs more sweetness or a little more ginger kick, feel free to adjust.
- 9
Pour into your favorite glasses, and if you’re feeling fancy, garnish with a slice of fresh mango or a sprinkle of turmeric.
