Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks or use fresh mango with ice
- 1 medium orange peeled and segmented
- 0.5 medium grapefruit peeled and segmented
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice

- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup for vegan option
- 1 tsp chia seeds optional for added fiber

Notes
Storage: Best consumed immediately, but can be stored in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours—shake well before drinking as separation may occur. Make-ahead: Pre-portion the fruits and ginger in freezer bags for quick morning assembly. Substitutions: Use any citrus like tangerines or lemon; swap mango for pineapple; replace honey with dates for sweetness. For a protein boost, add a scoop of vanilla protein powder.
