Mango Smoothie
Description
The Mango Smoothie uses almond milk as a base, combined with ripe banana and frozen mango pieces to form a naturally sweet and thick blend. Using either protein powder or Greek yogurt adds protein and helps create a satisfying creaminess. Blending the ingredients until smooth achieves a velvety texture. Sweetness can be customized with honey, depending on taste and the flavor of protein powder used.
This smoothie works well as a quick and nutritious drink for any time of day, suitable for those who want a fruit-focused beverage with extra protein. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to four days, although separation may require stirring or shaking before drinking.
When using fresh mango instead of frozen, adding ice helps maintain a cool texture. Various types of dairy or plant-based milks can be substituted freely without affecting the basic blend.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk or other milk (see note 1)
- 1 medium banana
- 1 cup Mango about 4 ounces, see note 2, frozen chunks
- 1 coop protein powder or ½ cup Greek yogurt (see note 3)
- 1 tablespoon honey to taste, optional
Instructions
- In the bottom of a blender, add almond milk, banana, mango, and protein powder or Greek yogurt. Blend until smooth. Taste and add honey if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with cow's milk or any other non-dairy milk of your choice, including cashew, oat, or soy milk.
- For fresh mango, peel and chop, then add about half a cup of ice to maintain a cold smoothie.
- Either vanilla protein powder or half a cup of Greek yogurt provides protein enrichment in the smoothie.
- Adjust sweetness by tasting before adding honey or maple syrup, since flavored protein powders might add enough sweetness.
- The recipe yields approximately two cups, suitable for one serving.
- Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to four days; stir or shake before drinking due to possible separation.
