Mango Smoothie
This Mango Smoothie blends almond milk, banana, frozen mango chunks, and a choice of protein powder or Greek yogurt for a creamy, fruit-filled drink. The combination provides a smooth texture with natural sweetness, which can be adjusted with added honey if desired. It makes about two cups, ideal for a refreshing snack or light breakfast.
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.
