Ginger combines very well with mango and contributes a host of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory phytochemicals.

Where's the like button on this thing??? This. is. dank. af. 10/10 - would recommend. TBH I didn't follow the recipe exactly... I tossed in some frozen mango chunks and skipped the ice cubes. Also, no ginger juicing for me, I added it straight raw (dawg! lol). Anyways, this was DECENT!! <3

Didn't bother to squeeze out the ginger juice. Instead, I graded a bit of ginger and added that directly into the blender and blended everything well. Makes for a nice kick of ginger that I loved and feels deliciously fresh on a hot summer day.

very tasty but on the liquidy side. would recommend adding in frozen mango or a frozen banana to thicken.

Frozen mango, half frozen banana, a hunk of peeled ginger and coconut water. Deeeelish. Will add fresh mint next time

No need for juicing the ginger if you have a high-speed blender. Just take the skin off of a small chunk of ginger, chop it into slices, and throw it in. This was really tasty and refreshing. Don't skip the ice cubes if you want a thicker smoothie.

I agree with everyone else about the ginger. Chopping it first and mashing it is probably a lot easier and adds that zesty ginger taste to the smoothie. The best way to get mashed ginger is to either hit it on the side of a cleaver by resting the cleaver on top of a peeled block of ginger and pounding the side with your fist or by using the flat side of a meat tenderizing hammer. Just be careful of the sideways splatter!
