This smoothie is the most unusual I’ve ever made- or tasted. It’s spicy but not too spicy. Savory but not too savory- thanks to the orange and mango. Super healthy. It was very ORANGE too! 🙂
This recipe was adapted from Bon Appetit, contributed by Claire Saffitz. I substituted chia seeds for hemp seeds and dried turmeric for fresh. I was too cold to add the ice! It was a perfect lunch with a small handful of walnuts.
Yield: about 2 cups, one serving
- 1 blood or navel orange, peel and white pith removed
- 1 large carrot, scrubbed, coarsely chopped
- ½ cup frozen mango chunks
- â…” cup coconut water
- 1 tablespoon shelled raw hemp seeds
- ¾ teaspoon finely grated peeled ginger
- 1½ teaspoons finely grated peeled turmeric
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 1/2 cup ice
- Using smoothie or ice crush setting, purée orange, carrot, mango, coconut water, hemp/chia seeds, ginger, turmeric, cayenne, salt, and ½ cup ice in a blender until smooth. (I used a Vitamix.)
