Smoothies have the appeal of a milkshake with the nutritional profile of a fruit salad. When you have over-ripe bananas, peel, slice and freeze them, and you’ll be ready to make smoothies anytime.

Ingredients

  • 1 can low-fat coconut milk
  • 2 cups frozen mango chunks
  • 1 large frozen banana
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon flax seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation

  1. Place all the ingredients, in order, in a blender and secure the lid.
  2. Blend, increasing the speed to high, until ingredients are very smooth. Serve immediately.

Tips and Notes

For this rich and satisfying smoothie, a can of coconut milk is preferable to the cartons of coconut-based nondairy milk that are typically found in refrigerated sections at co-ops. For a thicker, richer version, substitute regular coconut milk for low-fat.
