Notes
- Carrots: To substitute fresh carrots and/or fresh mango (peeled and chopped), add ½ cup ice or more to the blender.
- Mango: Similar to an avocado or a peach, a ripe mango will give slightly when you squeeze it. It should smell fruity at the stem when ripe, too.
- Protein powder: Use either your favorite vanilla protein powder or ½ cup Greek yogurt.
- Yield: This recipe makes about 2 cups of smoothie, enough for 1 serving.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Some separation may occur, so shake or stir to combine before enjoying.
