Notes
Tip: Always use fresh turmeric when possible for the best flavor and health benefits, but ground turmeric works well too.
For an extra kick, feel free to add a pinch of black pepper, which enhances turmeric’s absorption in the body. You can also substitute mango with pineapple or papaya for a different tropical twist.
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but it’s best enjoyed fresh! Serve over ice for a refreshing drink on a hot day or blend with coconut water for added hydration.
