Name: Mango Turmeric Smoothie Bowl
Prep time: 10 min
Total time: 10 min
Yield: Serves 2
Ingredients: 2 cups frozen mango chunks; 1 ripe banana, frozen and sliced; 1 teaspoon ground turmeric; 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger; 1 tablespoon chia seeds; 1 cup coconut milk (canned or carton); 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional); 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (to enhance turmeric absorption); 1/4 cup fresh berries for topping; 2 tablespoons granola for topping; 1 tablespoon shredded coconut for topping; 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds for topping

Instructions

Blend the base

In a high-powered blender, combine the frozen mango, frozen banana, turmeric, ginger, chia seeds, and coconut milk. Blend until smooth but still thick enough to eat with a spoon. Add honey or maple syrup if desired for additional sweetness.
Adjust consistency

If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more coconut milk. If it's too thin, add more frozen fruit. The consistency should be thicker than a drinkable smoothie but smooth enough to pour into a bowl.
Add black pepper

Stir in the black pepper. This helps your body absorb the curcumin in turmeric, which has anti-inflammatory properties. The pepper flavor will be barely noticeable against the sweet mango.
Pour and arrange toppings

Divide the smoothie mixture between two bowls. Top each bowl with fresh berries, granola, shredded coconut, and pumpkin seeds, arranging them in sections for a beautiful presentation.
Serve immediately

Enjoy your smoothie bowl right away while it's still cold and has the perfect consistency. Use a spoon to eat it like a frozen yogurt or soft ice cream.
