Choosing the Right Microgreens for Your Mango Smoothie

For our mango turmeric smoothie, we recommend these complementary microgreen varieties:

• Broccoli Microgreens: Broccoli microgreens have a mildly bitter and nutty taste with a more concentrated flavor than mature broccoli. Their mild profile works perfectly with mango while adding sulforaphane, a powerful anti-inflammatory compound.
• Sunflower Microgreens: Sunflower microgreens have a distinct nutty and earthy flavor with a slightly sweet aftertaste. Their nutty profile pairs beautifully with mango while adding protein.
• Cantaloupe Microgreens: Cantaloupe microgreens are known for their mild and refreshing flavor with a hint of sweetness that naturally complements mango.

For those who enjoy more zest, try our Mighty Greens Medley, a blend of Dunn Pea, Sunflower, Spicy Anti-inflammatory Mix, and Radish microgreens for crisp flavor, protein, and spicy notes.

All our microgreens are grown in a pure environment from seed to harvest, surrounded by sound, water, air, and soil free of toxins and chemicals. We hand-harvest each order with the utmost care, from harvest to delivery.

Make This Smoothie Ahead: Prep and Storage Tips

Freezer Smoothie Packs

Create ready-to-blend freezer packs by portioning frozen ingredients—frozen mango chunks, banana, and peeled ginger—into freezer-safe containers. Store microgreens separately (they’re best added fresh), and have dry ingredients like turmeric and pepper on hand for easy assembly.

Storing Prepared Smoothies

To store your mango turmeric ginger smoothie, place it in an airtight container (we prefer 2-cup wide-mouth jars) in the fridge and enjoy within a day or two. For longer storage, freeze in an airtight container with room for expansion, then thaw at room temperature or in the fridge when ready to drink.

Fresh Ginger and Turmeric Storage Tip

Store fresh ginger root and turmeric in the freezer in a reusable silicone bag. Peel and chop into 1/2- to 1-inch pieces for easy use whenever needed.

Customizing Your Turmeric Mango Smoothie Recipe

Our base recipe is delicious as is, but we encourage creativity and customization based on your taste preferences, dietary needs, and available ingredients. Here are some of our favorite variations:

Fruit Variations

• Add pineapple: Combining mango, pineapple, and ground turmeric creates a tropical flavor profile that’s a great way to start the day
• Try frozen peaches for a different stone fruit twist
• Add orange segments to enhance the vitamin C content and brighten the mango flavor

Protein Boosters

• Plant-based protein powder: Add 1 scoop of your favorite vanilla or unflavored plant protein
• Greek yogurt: If you don’t have protein powder on hand, you could use a ¾ cup of plain Greek yogurt for a protein boost. If you use plain yogurt, try adding a ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract and a date or drizzle of honey for sweetness, if desired
• Nut butters: A tablespoon of almond or cashew butter adds creaminess and protein

Superfood Add-Ins

• Flaxseeds: Substitute or combine with the chia seeds for omega-3 fatty acids
• Coconut flakes: Add half a cup of unsweetened coconut flakes into the smoothie to enhance the tropical flavors
• Additional microgreens varieties: Try combining different microgreen types from our selection for varied nutrient profiles

Dairy-Free and Plant-Based Modifications

Our recipe is already dairy-free, using coconut milk as the base. However, you have several alternative options:

• Almond milk: Creates a lighter, less rich smoothie
• Oat milk: Provides a creamy texture with a subtle sweetness
• Soy milk: Higher in protein than other plant-based milks

For added creaminess without dairy, try adding half an avocado, which also provides healthy fats that help with nutrient absorption.

What Other Fruit Pairs Well with Turmeric?

While mango is our favorite fruit to pair with turmeric in smoothies, many other excellent options complement turmeric’s earthy, slightly bitter profile:

1. Pineapple: The sweet-tart flavor balances turmeric beautifully while adding digestive enzymes
2. Banana: Provides creaminess and sweetness that mellows turmeric’s intensity
3. Berries: Especially strawberries and blueberries, which add antioxidant power and vibrant color
4. Peaches: Offer a delicate sweetness that pairs well with turmeric’s warmth
5. Oranges and citrus: Add half an orange, a whole clementine, or lemon juice to help the mango flavor pop
