Ripe mango gives this smoothie its golden colour and silky texture. A crisp red apple adds juiciness, and a small piece of ginger brings a warm, gentle heat at the end.

Mango Apple Smoothie with Ginger and Red Apple
Taste
Sweet and fruity with a silky mango body, fresh apple and a warm ginger finish.
About this smoothie
Mango and ginger are a proven combination: the sweet, aromatic fruit softens the sharpness of the root, and the ginger keeps the mango from tasting too heavy. Mangoes contain vitamin C and provitamin A, and red apples add a fresh, slightly tart sweetness.
This is a simple fruit smoothie without dairy that works any time of day. Dose the ginger to your taste, especially if you make it for children.
Bartender tips
Frozen mango chunks are often riper than fresh supermarket mangoes and make the smoothie thicker.
A squeeze of lime lifts the flavour if the mango is very sweet.
Variations
Creamy version
Replace the water with 150 ml natural yoghurt thinned with a little milk for a mango lassi style smoothie.
Frequently asked questions
Is it vegan?
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
Can I use ground ginger?
Yes, use a pinch; fresh ginger is fresher and more aromatic.
Can I prepare it the night before?
Yes, in a closed jar in the fridge. The ginger will taste a little stronger the next day.
