• 1 small banana, or 1/2 a large banana

• 1/2 inch piece of ginger

• 1 can Native Forest Organic Classic Coconut Milk

• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

• a tiny pinch of black pepper (to activate the turmeric)

• 1 teaspoon chia seeds

1. Freeze mandarins & the mandarin juice in an ice cube tray until frozen solid.

2. Once frozen, add to blender along with all other ingredients and blend on high until smooth and creamy.
