Slice the fat cheeks off the mango stone, then slice off the thinner sides. Slice the mango flesh off the skin and pop it into your blender. Slice as much flesh off the stone as you can and add that too.

- Tip
Mellow Yellow
Fresh turmeric has a warm, earthy flavour, so if you’ve never tried it raw, start by adding a little to this smoothie, then taste and add more if you want more of a kick. And remember that turmeric stains things a striking shade of yellow, so grate it onto a plate or a board you can wash up straight away, and wear gloves and an apron to keep your hands and clothes stain free.
