This ginger-mango smoothie is a thick yogurt-based drink with a sweet and tangy flavor. The smoothie gets its tang from fresh, anti-inflammatory ginger. Mango adds the sweetness and a healthy dose of antioxidants. The spinach adds a beautiful bright green color to the smoothie, along with a boost of dietary fiber and heart-healthy vitamins and minerals, without impacting the taste.
½ cup frozen mango
1 cup spinach
½ cup low-fat, plain Greek yogurt
½ inch ginger, peeled
3 tablespoons water, as needed to thin
Combine the mango, spinach, yogurt, and ginger in a blender. Blend to your desired thickness, adding water as necessary. Serve immediately.
SUBSTITUTION TIP:
If you want to skip the tanginess and add a sweeter note, swap the ginger for ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
