This is a mango coconut turmeric lassi. And I'm your host, I'm Talia Chai
0:30
I'm a registered holistic nutritionist and I'm also a clean foods chef
0:33
I love real food, health, wellness. It's kind of the name of the game for me in my life
0:40
And I'm excited to share all of my passion and knowledge for all of these foods with you
0:46
Into our blender, I have coconut milk. So coconut milk's gonna go in first
0:51
Our freshly diced mango. And I believe this is the atulfo type of mango, in case you were wondering. Mango
1:02
Now I'm going to add some raw honey. But once again, if you are a vegan, maple syrup or coconut nectar would be great delicious options
1:15
I love cardamom. And cardamom is great with mango lassi because of those Indian spices and flavors
1:23
So we're doing turmeric and Indian spices today. That's our theme. Oh, cardamom's going in
1:28
The cardamom seeds. A little bit of sea salt and black pepper
1:35
The reason why I'm putting black pepper in with this is to help with the absorption of
1:40
the curcumin and the anti-inflammatory properties of the turmeric. Last but not least, we have one ingredient and this is the superstar of this entire recipe
1:51
Fresh turmeric. This is real fresh turmeric root. And it kind of looks like ginger root
1:59
It's in the same family as ginger root. However, once you remove the peel, and I would just use a spoon to scrape off the peel the
2:06
way you would with ginger, underneath is this beautiful, bright orange, gorgeous pigmented herb
2:15
I'm going to throw in the fresh turmeric right in there. It's gonna get blended up
2:20
And the reason why I want to use fresh for this one is if you can find fresh, it's harder
2:25
to find, but if you can, it has a little bit more of a delicate, fruity flavor to it
2:32
Same gorgeous, bright yellow color, but a little bit less bitterness to it as well
2:38
We've got our ice and this is what makes it thicker and frothy and creamy
2:55
I'm gonna pour this into my glass. Look at how thick that is
3:00
It's like a peachy, golden, beautiful color. Oh my God. The cardamom is the perfect amount
3:12
You don't taste the black pepper at all and the fresh turmeric just adds a little bit
3:17
of like a floral flavor to it as well. The mint leaves are amazing, the mango adds sweetness
3:24
That's amazing. It's really, really good. I honestly think you need to go home or if you're already home, check out the recipes
3:34
