A tropical, warming smoothie with fresh ginger to soothe digestion and reduce inflammation.
Ginger has long been used to support digestion and reduce nausea, while flaxseed provides soluble fibre that helps regulate bowel movements.
Ingredients
Servings
Quantities update as you change servings — treat scaled amounts as a guide, not an exact measure.
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks
- ½ banana
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 tsp fresh grated ginger
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
- Juice of ¼ lime
- Optional: ice, 1 scoop protein powder
Method
- 1 Add the frozen mango, banana, coconut milk, grated ginger, ground flaxseed and lime juice to a blender.
- 2 Blend on high for 45–60 seconds until fully smooth — fresh ginger can leave stringy fibres, so blend a little longer than usual and check the texture before serving.
- 3 If the smoothie is thicker than you'd like, thin it with a splash more coconut milk and blend again briefly; if using ice or protein powder, add now.
- 4 Pour and serve immediately while the mango keeps it thick and cold.
