gluten-free, vegan // yields 1 smoothie

§ 1 champagne mango, skin removed + sliced

§ 6-inch frozen banana

§ 3/4 cup frozen pineapple

§ 1/4 – 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

§ 1/4 cup orange juice

§ 1 1/2 tablespoons ground flax meal

§ 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, optional

1. Blend ingredients together until smooth.  Add more milk for a thinner consistency.  Top with unsweetened coconut, hemp seeds, ground flax, walnuts, etc.

Other add-in ideas:  Sub lite coconut milk instead of almond milk for a richer + lightly coconutty flavor.  Add in cinnamon and/or ginger for a kick of flavor.  Add 1 tablespoon of walnut butter for extra creaminess.  Sub chia seeds instead of flax if desired, which both help to thicken the smoothie.
