Watermelon Banana Smoothie

by Steph Sunshine at StephSunshine.com

Yield 1 smoothie (about 2 1/4 cups or 530 mL)

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time a minute

Total Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups frozen mango chunks
  • 1/2 ripe banana, frozen
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup passion fruit pulp (from about 2 fruits)
  • 1/4 cup raw, unsalted cashews
  • 1/2 tablespoon fresh ginger root, grated
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric (or 1 tablespoon of fresh turmeric, grated)

Instructions

  1. Add all your ingredients to a blender and cover. Start your blender off on low speed and gradually increase the speed until you have a smooth and creamy smoothie! (You can also just use smoothie mode on your blender, if it has it.)
  2. Pour your smoothie into a glass, and enjoy!

Notes & Hints

To freeze fruit, I like to cut fresh fruit into pieces and place it in a single layer in a freezer bag, then freeze it for a few hours or overnight.

I used unflavored pea protein powder; if you're using flavored protein powder you may want to increase the amount to 3-4 tablespoons.

This is a very thick smoothie, so if you don't have a high-powered blender, you might need to add additional milk to get it to blend.

Nutrition facts include optional pea protein powder.
