Ingredients:

• 1½ cups chopped mango (fresh or frozen)
• 1½ cups chopped pineapple (fresh or frozen)
• ¾-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled
• 5 ice cubes (only if using fresh fruit)
• ¾ cup water or coconut water

• Sparkling water (optional, enough to fill one-third of each serving glass)

• 2-3 fresh mint leaves (optional)

Directions:

Place all ingredients, except the ice and sparkling water, in a blender. If using frozen fruit, you may need to increase the water to 1⅛–1½ cups to help everything blend smoothly. Blend until smooth. If using fresh fruit, add the ice and blend again.

For a refreshing, bubbly twist, fill one-third of your glass with sparkling water, then top it off with the Pineapple & Ginger Elixir. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig, sip, and enjoy!
