Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen mango chunks provides a creamy, chilled base
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk of choice
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt plain and unsweetened for protein
- 1 tsp ground turmeric high-quality organic preferred
- 0.5 tsp fresh ginger grated or finely minced
- 1 tbsp chia seeds for fiber and omega-3s

Notes
Storage: Best consumed immediately. If saving for later, store in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours, though some separation may occur—simply shake well before drinking. Substitution: Use coconut milk for a richer, tropical flavor profile. Pro-tip: Do not skip the black pepper; it increases the bioavailability of turmeric by up to 2,000%.
