So, you’re craving something bright, juicy, and slightly tropical—but you also want to pretend you’re doing something good for your joints and immune system. Look no further.

This juice is a golden masterpiece. It’s sweet, smooth, and has just enough turmeric to make you feel like a holistic health queen without tasting like you raided a spice rack. Carrot adds the veggie cred, mango brings the party, and turmeric… well, turmeric is the reason your cutting board will be stained forever. Worth it.

What Makes It Awesome

This one hits all the marks: delicious, nutrient-dense, and aesthetically pleasing enough to land on your Instagram story with zero filters.

• Mango = thick and sweet – This fruit doesn’t mess around. Tropical flavor, natural sugar, creamy texture. Big juice energy.
• Carrot = subtle and grounding – Earthy but mellow. Balances out the mango without overpowering it.
• Turmeric = inflammation-fighting gold dust – Just a small pinch brings serious health benefits. Also, it makes your juice glow like actual sunshine.
• Ginger (optional) = spicy kick – Not required, but highly recommended if you like your health drinks with a little edge.

And the color? Let’s just say it looks like pure serotonin in a glass.

Ingredients

This one’s basically a smoothie and a juice had a lovechild:

• 1 medium carrot (peeled and chopped)
• 1/2 cup ripe mango (fresh or frozen)
• 1/2 tsp ground turmeric or 1/2-inch fresh turmeric root
• 1/2 cup cold water (or coconut water if you’re fancy)
• Juice of 1/2 orange – Optional, but amps up the citrusy vibe
• Small slice of fresh ginger (optional) – Because you’re bold like that

Blend it all together until smooth. Strain it if you want, or drink it thick for a more smoothie-like experience. Either way, your taste buds win.

Alternatives

Want to mix it up? Easy.

• No mango? Use pineapple or peach. Still tropical. Still tasty.
• No turmeric? …okay, but that’s kind of the point. Fine. You do you.
• Add banana – Makes it thicker and turns it into more of a meal. But changes the vibe from “juice” to “smoothie” fast.
• Make it spicy – Add a pinch of black pepper. It boosts turmeric absorption and makes you feel like a health scientist.

This juice is a mood. Customize accordingly.

Calories

This one’s a bit more substantial, and that’s a good thing:

• Mango (1/2 cup): ~50 cal
• Carrot (1 medium): ~25 cal
• Orange juice (1/2 orange): ~30 cal
• Turmeric + ginger: ~5 cal max
• Water: free, as always

Total: ~110 calories

Tastes like dessert. Acts like medicine. Zero regrets.

FAQ

Can I use turmeric powder instead of fresh?
Absolutely. Just don’t overdo it—turmeric is bold. Start with 1/4 to 1/2 tsp.

Why add black pepper?
It helps your body absorb turmeric’s active compound, curcumin. Science! Plus, it gives the juice a subtle edge.

Does it stain everything?
LOL, yes. Use glassware and wash your blender right after. Or don’t. And live with golden fingerprints for the next 3 days.

Is this good for after workouts?
Totally. Turmeric and ginger help fight inflammation, and mango gives you a quick hit of natural sugars for recovery.
