Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 large Navel Oranges peeled and segmented
- 1 cup Frozen Mango Chunks adds natural sweetness and a thick, frosty texture
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek Yogurt full-fat or low-fat
- 1 tsp Fresh Ginger grated or finely minced
- 0.5 tsp Ground Turmeric for anti-inflammatory benefits
- 0.25 tsp Ground Cinnamon plus extra for garnish
- 1 tbsp Raw Honey or maple syrup for a vegan option
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk or liquid of choice to adjust consistency
- 1 pinch Black Pepper essential to activate the curcumin in turmeric
Notes
For a vegan version, substitute the Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and use maple syrup instead of honey. To make this ahead, blend everything except the frozen mango and store in the fridge; add the frozen fruit and blend just before serving to maintain the frosty texture. Leftovers can be frozen in popsicle molds for a healthy winter treat.
