Gingery Mango & Berry Smoothie

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups frozen chopped mango (if fresh, add 1 cup ice)
• 1 1/4 cups frozen raspberries and/or strawberries (I mixed both)
• 1-2 cups light coconut milk or unsweetened almond milk
• 1 medium lime, juiced (~3 Tbsp or 45 ml as original recipe is written)
• 2 Tbsp fresh ginger
• 1 Tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1/8 scant tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1-2 Tbsp protein powder of choice or hemp seeds
• Coconut Yogurt or full-fat coconut milk
• Berries
• Unsweetened shredded coconut
• Hemp seeds

Method

1. To a high-speed blender add mango, berries, coconut or almond milk (starting with the lesser amount), lime, ginger, shredded coconut, cayenne pepper (optional), and protein powder of choice (optional).
2. Blend on high until creamy and smooth, scraping down sides as needed. If it has trouble blending, add more coconut, almond milk, or water.
3. Serve as is or layer with coconut yogurt or milk and top with desired toppings. I prefer berries, hemp seeds, and coconut flake.
4. Enjoy fresh or refrigerate leftovers for 3 days. Or store in the freezer (as a smoothie or Popsicles) up to 1 month.
