Final Thoughts and Some Book Recommendations

If you love ginger, you need to make this ginger mango smoothie with banana bowl right now! This bowl is packed with frozen fruit, fresh ginger, a handful of greens, and plant-based protein powder. This smoothie bowl is so thick, you’ll have to eat it with a spoon! The mango adds a nice bit of sweetness to this smoothie, so it doesn’t require any added sweetener or sugars.

Be sure to use fresh ginger in this recipe, as dried, powdered ginger doesn’t have the same flavor. If you don’t have any on hand, you can leave it out and simply make a mango smoothie bowl. But if you love ginger as I do, you’ll enjoy the spicy kick that it gives this smoothie bowl! Use a microplane or other fine grater to grate the ginger.

Simply hold the peeled ginger root in one hand and carefully rub it back and forth over the grater to produce fine, fluffy shreds of ginger. If you do not have a microplane, finely mince the ginger with a knife, then blend it with the almond milk in the blender until smooth.

Rehydrate yourself with this refreshing Mango Ginger Detox Smoothie. It’s made with mangos, bananas, fresh ginger, and turmeric. Finished in just 5 minutes for an energizing and wholesome breakfast or midday meal. This smoothie should be eaten immediately. If you do have leftover smoothie, freeze it in popsicle molds for a healthy midday snack!
