ISHA RECIPE
Creamy Mango Coconut Smoothie
Serves 2
INGREDIENTS
2 cups fresh mango
1 small ripe banana
1 cup yogurt/curd or coconut yogurt
1 cup coconut milk
Natural vanilla extract to taste (optional)
¼ teaspoon turmeric (optional)
½-cm piece of fresh ginger (optional)
METHOD
- Peel the banana and cut it into pieces.
- In a blender jar, combine the chopped banana, curd/yogurt, mango chunks, coconut milk, and optional vanilla extract to taste. For an extra healthy touch, you may include the optional turmeric and/or freshly grated ginger.
- Blend the mixture until a thick and creamy consistency is achieved, adjusting the amount of coconut milk as needed.
- Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately.
TIP: Make your own coconut milk! Here’s how it works:
- Crack open a mature coconut, collecting the water in a bowl.
- Grate the white coconut flesh using a hand grater.
- Blend the grated coconut with 1 cup of water in a high-speed blender.
- Strain the mixture through a cheesecloth or nut milk bag, squeezing to extract the milk.
