Description
A quick and nutritious mango avocado protein smoothie that is perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup almond milk, or milk of choice
- Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tbsp)
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 heaping cup frozen mango chunks
- 1/4 avocado (about 50g)
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 scoop protein powder, optional
Instructions
- Blend the Fruits: Start by tossing the mango and avocado into your blender. You will notice a creamy, bright green color starting to form. Blending these fruits first helps them get super smooth. Just a heads up, if you overload the blender, you might find it struggles to blend properly.
- Add Protein Powder: Next, sprinkle in the protein powder of your choice. You will see it mix in beautifully with the fruity base, creating a vibrant hue. The protein is key for keeping you feeling full longer, so do not skip this step. Watch out for clumps; if you add it too quickly, it might not mix evenly.
- Pour in the Liquid: Now, slowly pour in the almond milk, adjusting as you go. The mixture should start moving freely and smelling deliciously sweet. The milk helps achieve that creamy texture everyone loves in a smoothie. If it is still too thick, do not hesitate to add more until it looks just right.
- Give a Citrus Boost: Squeeze in the lime juice, and mix until combined. You will be greeted with a burst of bright citrus aroma that livens up the whole blend. This step helps cut through the creaminess and adds a refreshing zing. Just be careful not to overdo it; too much lime can overwhelm the flavors.
- Taste & Adjust Flavors: Lastly, take a quick taste test to see if everything is balanced. You might want to add a touch more lime juice or sweetener if needed. This is your chance to get it just how you like. Do not forget to watch out for any lingering chunks; give it another whirl if needed! If the smoothie feels too thick, gradually add more milk, starting with 1 tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.
Notes
- Store in sealable jars in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before consuming.
- If the smoothie has separated after being stored, a quick shake or stir will recombine the ingredients nicely before serving.
- If you find the flavor a bit dull, a splash more lime juice or a drizzle of honey can brighten it up without overwhelming the taste.
- For an extra fiber boost, consider tossing in a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds before blending.
