Equipment

  • High-speed blender

Ingredients

  • 2 cups frozen mango
  • 3 frozen bananas
  • 1 tablespoon maca powder
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk
  • 1 cup water
  • dash of black pepper just a tiny pinch (helps absorb the nutrients from turmeric better)

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth.

Notes

For creamier, skip the water and use more milk. For something lighter, use water.
If you're new to maca, you can start with a 1/2 teaspoon and add more as desired. I enjoy the maca flavor, so I add the full tablespoon.
