This mango smoothie ginger recipe is made with frozen mango, a splash of lemon juice, fresh ginger root, creamy soy milk, and half a banana. The result is a vibrant, immune-supporting vegan mango smoothie that’s loaded with antioxidants, vitamin C, and gut-friendly ingredients.

I originally tested this smoothie with almond milk and no banana, and it wasn’t that satisfying. It lacked creaminess and felt a little thin. But once I swapped in unsweetened soy milk and added just ½ a banana, the texture completely transformed.

The soy milk adds a boost of plant-based protein, while the banana adds the perfect amount of sweetness and creaminess to balance out the spice of the ginger. Ginger brings a bright, slightly spicy kick and lemon adds refreshing citrus zest.

I’ve made many vegan ginger smoothies in the past, but this one hit the mark and is the only one my daughter likes. Every time I’ve made smoothies with ginger before, she’s said they were too spicy. But for the first time ever, she took a sip of this healthy mango smoothie and said, “Mmm, I like it!”

This smoothie is perfect any time of year. I love adding ginger to my smoothies in winter as it is a warming spice with immune supporting properties. I often make this mango smoothie with ginger in the winter months to help boost my immune system, as colds and coughs were constantly circulating around my daughter's preschool.
