Why You Need This Mango Protein Smoothie
- It's simple & easy to make in under 5 minutes.
- It's a great way to get protein in for breakfast without eating a full meal or having to cook.
- Mangoes are a decent source of vitamin C and vitamin A and are pretty high in fiber.
- It tastes like mango ice cream or mango water ice!
- It uses frozen mangoes so that you can keep them stocked in your fridge and grab them any time. You also don't have to worry about cutting up a whole mango.
Recipe Ingredients
Here are some notes on a few ingredients- please see the full ingredient list in the recipe card below!
- Mango- I used frozen chunks of mango. You can buy them in the freezer section of the grocery store
- Protein powder- I used vanilla protein powder for this recipe. I love Driven Nutrition's protein because it gives you a really nice consistency.
- Milk- Any milk will work for this smoothie, I used almond milk.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Add the mango, milk, greek yogurt, protein powder, and honey to a blender.
Step 2: Blend until smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little bit of milk. If the smoothie is too thin, add some ice cubes.
Step 3: Pour into your favorite glass and enjoy!
Tips and Tricks
- Use a good blender- having a high-quality blender will ensure you get every piece of mango blended and gives you a great consistency.
- Add a vegetable- my go-to for smoothies is frozen riced cauliflower. You can't taste it and it's a perfect way to sneak a veggie in. I would add about a ¼ cup to this smoothie. You could also add spinach or kale! * you might need a little extra liquid if you add these.
- Feel free to add anything you think would be good to this smoothie: chia seeds, flax seeds, peanut butter, almond butter, or extra fruit. Berries or pineapple would be a great addition!
- If your smoothie is too thin, add ice cubes to blend and thicken it up. If it's too thick, just add extra liquid such as milk or water.
Storing & Freezing
This smoothie can be stored in a cup or jar with a lid in the fridge overnight. Shake or stir before consuming. It can also be frozen in a freezer-safe container. To thaw, allow it to sit in the fridge overnight.
