Notes
- When using fresh carrots or mango instead of frozen, add at least ½ cup of ice to maintain chill and texture.
- Choose ripe mangoes that yield slightly to pressure and smell fruity at the stem for the best flavor.
- Either vanilla protein powder or Greek yogurt will thicken the smoothie and provide protein.
- Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to four days; stir or shake before drinking as separation may occur.
- This recipe yields about 2 cups, sufficient for one serving.
