- 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup water
- 3 tbsp honey
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
Ingredient noteSmall amounts of ground ginger are often well-tolerated on a low histamine diet. This recipe uses only a very small amount of ground ginger per serving. If you prefer to always avoid ground ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

For the coconut sauce
- ½ cup full-fat coconut milk
- 1 tbsp honey
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
- 1 pinch fine sea salt
- 1 tsp arrowroot starch

- 2 large ripe mangoes, peeled and slicedIngredient note
Mango can prompt the body to release its own histamine. This recipe only uses about 3 1/2 oz (100 g) per serving. If you prefer to always avoid mangos, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted (optional)
Ingredient noteNuts and seeds are typically low in histamine but carry other amines. This recipe only uses about 5 g per serving. If you prefer to always avoid sesame seed, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- small handful fresh mint leaves (optional)
