Fruit smoothies are an effortless and delicious way to incorporate a variety of fruits into your daily diet. With just a handful of ingredients and simple steps, all you need is a blender, and you’ve got yourself a nourishing drink that you can customize to your liking!

The addition of immune-boosting ginger takes this fruit smoothie to a whole new level! It adds a sharp, zesty flavor that compliments the sweetness of the fruits while infusing it with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory compounds, that also aid healthy digestion.

Step 1: Simply add all the ingredients into the blender, liquid first, and blend until you reach your desired consistency. You can also use a stab mixer for this recipe.

Toni’s Tips for Ginger in Smoothie

  • Always add the liquid first before the solids. So, in this case, add coconut water before the fruits. This will make it easier for your blender without straining it. Especially if you are not using a high-powered one.
  • Use frozen fruit for more flavor. I used frozen mangoes and strawberries, so that I didn’t need to add ice, which will water down the smoothie. However, if you do not have time to freeze them, you can just add ice cubes and reduce the coconut water when blending.
  • The riper the fruits are the better! Ripe fruits are sweeter and softer, which are perfect for making smoothies.
  • Add nutrient boosts. Add more nutritious ingredients to your smoothie like vegan yogurt, chia seeds, greens, spices, and herbs (how to store fresh herbs to last).
  • Add yummy toppings for texture. Top it with nuts, coconut flakes, dried fruits, berries, or grounded flax seeds before serving to take it to the next level!

FAQs for Ginger Smoothie

Why is my smoothie too thick?

This can happen, especially when using creamy fruits like mangoes and bananas. Just add more liquid to thin it out.

Why is my smoothie too sour?

It can happen if the mango and strawberries you are using are not ripe or sweet enough. You can remedy this by adding a small amount of agave syrup (or maple syrup) to sweeten it up.

How can I make my smoothie creamier?

Bananas are a great way to thicken your smoothies and add a wonderful flavor, too. I also keep frozen bananas ready for this purpose. You can also add ground oats, vegan ice cream, or vegan yogurt to give it a thicker consistency.

Serving Suggestions for Ginger Smoothie

Storage Instructions for Ginger Fruit Smoothie

It would be great if we could make a huge batch of smoothie and enjoy for the rest of the week, right? Unfortunately, smoothies do not store well and are best enjoyed right off the blender. Thankfully, they are quick and easy enough to make whenever the craving hits.

You can possibly make it an hour early and keep it in the fridge. Just make sure to give it a good stir before drinking.

  1. This is excellent! I love mango and make a lot of mango lahssis. This is a nice alternative when I don’t have any plant based yogurt. Thanks!
