Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen mango
- 1 cup sliced frozen banana
- ½ cup plain low fat greek yogurt
- ½ cup low fat or 1% milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
Instructions
- Place all ingredients into a high-speed food processor and blend until smooth.
- Adjust thickness by adding more milk if needed. Serve immediately.
Notes
- My #1 Secret Tip for this mango protein smoothie is to pour the liquids into the blender first before the fruits for easier and smoother blending.
- Don't add sugar: To keep this mango vanilla smoothie healthy, I never add sugar. This shake is sweet enough thanks to the natural sweetness from the banana and mango. Sometimes I add a touch of maple syrup or use a sweetened protein powder sweetened with monk fruit.
- For best results, I use a high powered blender: I have used a hand blender before to make this as well as a high powered one, and the hand blender didn't give the same creamy thickness as the high powered blender. If you can invest in a high speed blender, you will get that ultra creamy and rich texture in your drink.
- Enjoy immediately: I recommend drinking this smoothie immediately for the best texture and drinking experience. However leftovers can be stored in the fridge, but the consistency will be watered down a bit.
