For a super quick breakfast or snack that's packed with nutrition, you can't beat a homemade smoothie! This one features the superfood of the moment - turmeric - along with refreshing mango and ginger. If you are looking to reap the benefits of turmeric but are unsure how to incorporate it into your everyday meals, this smoothie is a great place to start.

Why You'll Love This Smoothie

Not only does this mango turmeric smoothie contain all of the anti-inflammatory goodness of turmeric, it's also tasty! The mango and ginger offer a a refreshing, sweet flavor to offset the sometimes strong flavor of turmeric. This smoothie has got plenty of protein and fiber for staying power that will keep you full thanks to oats and Greek yogurt. It also has a full serving of fruit, and is loaded with antioxidants!

Benefits of Turmeric

Turmeric has been around for hundreds of years and is common in Indian cooking. The bright yellow-orange root has just recently become popular in the United States for its health benefits. Turmeric is high in a compound called curcumin, which gives the root it's anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Curcumin has been linked to:

  • Reduced inflammation
  • Reduced pain from inflammatory conditions, such as osteoarthritis, as well as exercise-induced inflammation
  • Reduced oxidative stress
  • Possible protection against degenerative brain disease, such as Alzheimer's
  • Improvement in several markers of endothelial function, which is related to heart disease
  • Possible mechanisms that could helps treat and prevent certain types on cancer (though these haven't yet been studied properly in humans).
  • Possible improvement in symptoms of depression

It’s important to note that many of these studies are based on large dose supplements. Also, bioavailability of curcumin (or your body's ability to use it) is low. It's increased by compounds in black pepper, as well as by dietary fat, so add a pinch of pepper to your smoothie if you'd like, and use yogurt and/or milk that has a little fat.

The Ingredients

  • Mango - I use frozen mango to make the smoothie nice and frosty without using ice.
  • Oats - Rolled or quick oats both work. They add a little more fiber and staying power.
  • Greek yogurt - plain Greek yogurt is a good source of protein and probiotics.
  • Turmeric - You can use fresh or ground.
  • Ginger
  • Milk
  • Honey - Add honey to taste, if you need it. I usually don't add any.

How To Make It

  1. If you're using fresh turmeric and ginger, slice them thinly.
  2. Add everything to a high speed blended (such as a Vitamix) and blend until smooth.
  3. Adjust the consistency as needed with more milk or ice.

    Can ground ginger be used instead of fresh ginger?

      You can use ground ginger, but it won't taste as strong in this recipe.

    The calorie count differs--Is it 305 calories (at the bottom of the recipe) or 460 calories at the top of the recipe--Thats a big discrepancy!

      Hi Beryl, where do you see 460? Based on my calculations it is 305 cals. Thanks!

      never had a smoothie, but I am looking for ways to take turmeric, I thought
      you should add pepper to any turmeric meal? and aren`t the oats a bit,,
      well bitty?

        Hi Pauline! Piperine, the active compound in black pepper, does increase the bioavailability of curcumin in turmeric. Fat also increases curcumin's bioavailability. The oats provide a little bit of healthfat along with extra fiber and give this smoothie extra staying power to kep you full 🙂 They blend right in as long as you have a high-powered blender!
