Equipment

  • 1 high powered blender

Ingredients
  

  • 1 banana peeled
  • ½ mango cubed
  • ½ cup pineapple cubed
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • ½ cup plant-based milk
  • 1-2 ice cubes depending on desired consistency
  • 1 teaspoon bee pollen

Instructions
 

  • Combine ingredients in blender: Combine the banana, mango, pineapple, turmeric, and ice cubes. Add plant-based milk of choice to about half of where the fruit fills the blender. You can always add more milk later if the smoothie is too thick, so we suggest starting small and adding more as you go.
    1 banana, ½ mango, ½ cup pineapple, 1 teaspoon turmeric, ½ cup plant-based milk
  • Blend, pour, and add toppings: When the smoothie ingredients and milk are added to the blender, blend on high until they are completely blended and smooth (about 30 seconds, depending on your blender). Pour the smoothie into a glass and top with bee pollen or other toppings, and enjoy!
    1-2 ice cubes, 1 teaspoon bee pollen

Notes

Make it a bowl! Use this Yellow Superfood Smoothie recipe as the foundation for your next smoothie bowl. Top with colorful superfoods such as kiwi, raspberries, strawberries, and fresh herbs like mint.
Make it a meal! Make this superfood snack more filling by adding oats, chia, or a protein like yogurt or protein powder, along with healthy fat such as nut butter.
Tip: Use a frozen banana and mango to reduce the amount of ice cubes needed, which will produce a smoother (less icy) texture.
Leftovers & Storage: This simple smoothie recipe can be made ahead of time and frozen until ready to serve. However, depending on your freezer it may become hard the longer it’s frozen. We suggest no more than 2-3 days.
Nutrition: This smoothie recipe is a great snack option or breakfast on the go. It is high in potassium and vitamin C and, depending on the type of plant-based milk used, may be a good source of protein.
