Swaps

Oat milk → almond milk (usually a little thinner and nuttier); mango → pineapple (also provides vitamin C and a fresh tartness); banana → avocado (less fruit sugar, but a creamier texture and more monounsaturated fatty acids); chia seeds → ground linseed (similar fibre content, with alpha-linolenic acid).

Allergens

The smoothie is naturally vegan. Oat milk contains gluten unless it's certified gluten-free. For children, blend it mild and use ginger sparingly. During pregnancy the ingredients are generally unremarkable in normal kitchen amounts. Contains: gluten (oats).
