# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like you're on vacation but takes five minutes, no blender expertise needed.
  • Turmeric actually tastes good here instead of medicinal, thanks to the mango's natural sweetness and ginger's warmth.
  • You can make it frozen and thick or thin and tropical depending on your mood.
02 -
  • Frozen fruit makes a thicker, colder smoothie that almost feels like soft-serve, but if your blender struggles, thaw the fruit slightly or add liquid first before blending.
  • The turmeric's flavor develops as it sits for even five minutes—if you think you added too much, resist adding more and wait instead, because it mellows and deepens.
03 -
  • Always taste before adding sweetener—ripe mangoes vary wildly, and some are naturally so sweet you won't need anything else.
  • Blend fresh ginger the moment you grate it because the oils oxidize fast, but ground ginger works fine if you're short on time and don't mind a slightly more muted flavor.
