Ingredients
1 cup frozen mango chunks
juice of 1 lemon
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
3/4 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
2 teaspoons fresh grated ginger
1 small raw red beet, chopped
1 cup frozen raspberries
1 cara cara orange, blood orange, or grapefruit, peeled and segmented
1/2 cup pomegranate juice
honey to taste (optional)
Instructions
1. In a blender, combine the mango, lemon juice, turmeric, cayenne, ginger, and orange juice. Blend until completely smooth, adding more honey if needed to sweeten. Pour into a tall glass.
2. Rinse the blender out. Combine the beets, raspberries, orange, and pomegranate juice. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding more pomegranate juice if needed to reach your desired consistency.
3. Pour over the mango mixture and stir gently to swirl. Top with seeds if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
For a spicier smoothie, increase cayenne. To sweeten naturally, use a ripe banana or medjool date. Freeze in jars or molds for later use.
