Ingredients

Kefir250 ml
Mango120 g
Frozen chunks make it thick without ice. Flesh only.
BananaHalf a medium (50 g)
Peeled weight. A medium banana is about 100 g without the skin.
Whey protein isolate1 scoop, about 30 g
Values for an unflavoured or lightly flavoured isolate. A concentrate or a blend carries more fat and carbohydrate at the same scoop.
Ground turmericA quarter teaspoon
Fresh gingerA thumbnail-sized piece, grated
Black pepperA grind

Method

Put the kefir in the blender first, then the whey, so the powder does not stick to the bottom.
Add the mango, banana, ginger, turmeric and pepper and blend for thirty seconds until there are no flecks of ginger visible.
Pour into a tall glass and drink it straight away, before the mango starts to separate.

Worth knowing

Kefir is a drinking yogurt at 3.3 g of protein per 100 ml, a third of Greek yogurt. The whey scoop is doing the protein here, and without it the glass is about 10 g.
Turmeric stains. Rinse the blender straight away and do not wear the white shirt.
