Nutrition Highlights (Per Serving)

• Calories: approximately 200
• Protein: 10g
• Carbohydrates: 35g
• Fat: 1g
• Fiber: 4g
• Peach and mango together provide vitamins A and C, beta-carotene, and potassium; turmeric adds curcumin, a powerful anti-inflammatory compound

Tips

• Use frozen fruit rather than fresh — it eliminates the need for extra ice and creates a naturally thick, frosty smoothie
• Add a tiny pinch of black pepper with the turmeric to significantly increase curcumin absorption (piperine in black pepper enhances bioavailability by up to 2000%)
• Swap orange juice for coconut water if you prefer a lighter, less acidic smoothie with natural electrolytes
• Increase the mango proportion for a sweeter, more tropical-forward flavor, or increase the peach for a softer, more floral taste
• Blend in a handful of baby spinach — the color will shift slightly green, but the tropical flavors completely mask the spinach taste

Why This Recipe Works

Peaches and mangoes are both excellent sources of vitamin C — a single serving of this smoothie can deliver a significant portion of your daily vitamin C requirement. Vitamin C plays a critical role in immune function, collagen synthesis, and the absorption of iron from plant-based foods. The pinch of turmeric adds curcumin, a bioactive compound widely studied for its anti-inflammatory properties. Combined with Formula 1 Vanilla — developed with guidance from the Herbalife Nutrition Advisory Board — this smoothie provides complete, balanced nutrition in a format that feels like a tropical treat rather than a meal replacement.

This recipe is intended as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. Consult your healthcare provider before making significant changes to your nutritional routine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use canned peaches instead of frozen?

Fresh or frozen peaches are strongly recommended over canned, as canned peaches are often stored in syrup that adds unnecessary sugar. If canned is your only option, choose peaches packed in water or natural juice and drain them thoroughly before blending. The smoothie will be thinner since canned peaches do not provide the same frozen thickness.

Is the turmeric necessary?

The turmeric is optional but highly recommended. It adds a subtle warmth and earthy note that complements the peach and mango beautifully, and its curcumin content provides well-documented anti-inflammatory benefits. The amount used is small enough that it will not overpower the fruit flavors.
