Warm Winter Mango & Ginger Smoothie (with an Optional Ayurvedic Kick!)

In the winter we all seek out foods that are energizing, warming, and that help address typical winter nutrient deficits, and one this is a superstar!

If you wish to boost the anti-inflammatory properties of your smoothie to help fight off nasty bugs that come your way, we recommend adding a teaspoon of Chai Bar Golden Milk, an Ayurvedic blend of spices, to the mix. You can also add a different kind of kick to the smoothie with a dash of rum, if you choose.
This may be the first warm smoothie you try- probably won't be the last!

Serves: 2 Preparation time approximately 10 min.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Pinwheel frozen mango chunks

  • 1.5 bananas, cut into chunks & frozen

  • 1/4” knob of ginger, peeled and cut into pieces

  • 1 Tbsp of your favorite honey

  • 1 tsp Chai Bar Golden Milk blend (optional)

  • 1 cup orange juice

  • 1 cup boiling water

  • Optional: grated nutmeg, dash of dark rum

Instructions

  • Blend the frozen mango chunks, bananas, ginger & honey and Golden Milk blend (if using) together until smooth; blend in the orange juice bit by bit.

  • Transfer the mango blend to mugs and divide the boiling water between them. Stir well and microwave each mug to heat further, if desired.

  • Top with a grating of nutmeg (and/or stir in a dash of dark rum, if desired.)
