# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like a tropical vacation but sneaks in powerful anti-inflammatory ingredients without any bitterness.
  • You can blend it in under five minutes, making it perfect for rushed mornings or post-workout fuel.
02 -
  • Always use ripe mango or the smoothie will taste grassy and flat instead of sweet and tropical.
  • If your blender struggles with frozen fruit, let the mango thaw for a few minutes or add the liquid first to help it blend smoothly.
03 -
  • A tiny pinch of black pepper enhances turmeric absorption and adds a subtle warmth without making it spicy.
  • Use frozen banana slices instead of ice to keep the smoothie thick and creamy without diluting the flavor.
