Coconut Curry Mango Green Smoothie
This exotic curry coconut mango green smoothie is absolutely incredible. It is loaded with nutrients and fabulous flavor, and will blow your mind.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (240ml) raw coconut water (or filtered water)
- 1 cup (240ml) full-fat canned coconut milk
- 1/2 cup (14g) dandelion greens
- 1/4 medium avocado, peeled and pitted
- 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon yellow curry powder
- 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Pinch of Celtic sea salt
- 2 cups (320g) frozen mango
optional boosters
- 1 tablespoon melted virgin coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon goji powder

- 1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric

-
Throw all of the ingredients into your blender (including any boosters) and blast on high for 30 to 60 seconds until smooth and creamy.
Recipe Notes
*Probiotic Powder - I add 1/2 teaspoon of probiotic powder to all smoothies to replenish stores of healthy bacteria for immunity, digestion, detox, and to balance the acidic effects of high-sugar fruits and other sweeteners. The really potent probiotics require refrigeration. If you have capsules, break the shell and release the powder. Unsweetened probiotic-rich liquids like kefirs (water, coconut water, milk varieties) or kombucha make wonderful health-promoting additions to shakes, too.
*Celtic Sea Salt - I add a pinch (or more) of this alkalizing, mineral-rich salt to all smoothies to boost the natural flavor of fruits and veggies; temper the acidity of sweet fruits and sweeteners; stimulate the lymphatic system; replenish electrolytes; aid digestion; and help the body access energy. I do not recommend adding common table salt which is generally heated to extreme temperatures, iodized, bleached, processed, and refined. This salt does not have the same benefits. If you have a health condition that requires you to limit your sodium intake consult your doctor before adding salt to your smoothies.

Made this smoothie this morning – typical cold Wisconsin day – and it was fantastic!!!
SO glad you enjoyed this. YES! This smoothie is SO comforting and warming in the cold weather. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience.
Welcome! Great to be connected. Can’t wait to hear what you think of the recipes.
I found you again from another website. I would love to try this, but I’m not sure I will be able to find any dandelions. 🙁 I’m wondering if there would be another alternative green that would work?
The dandelion greens are not essential in this recipe. You can easily substitute a bit of spinach or radish greens. Or leave the greens out.
can i use normal water instead of coconut water, and add more coconut meat? I dont really like to buy coconut water as it might contain additives, and the water in real coconuts is not much.
Absolutely!
