### Instructions:
1. Combine all ingredients – frozen banana, almond milk, fresh ginger, ground turmeric, black pepper, frozen mango, chia seeds (if using), and honey/maple syrup (if using) – into a high-speed blender.
2. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more almond milk until you reach your desired consistency.
3. Taste and adjust sweetness or spice as needed. You can add a little more honey or a tiny pinch more turmeric if desired.
4. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately for the freshest and most potent immune-boosting benefits!
### Short Tips:
* For an extra nutritional punch, consider adding a handful of spinach – you won’t even taste it!
* Always include black pepper with turmeric, as it significantly enhances the absorption of curcumin, turmeric’s active compound.
* If you don’t have fresh ginger or turmeric, you can use ground versions, but fresh offers a more vibrant flavor.
* Prepare your ingredients ahead of time and store them in individual freezer bags for a quick and easy morning smoothie.
