Variations Ideas
- Fruit – Feel free to make this smoothie with different types of tropical fruit. You can add in fresh mango, frozen bananas, pineapple, blueberries and strawberries. Make it with fresh fruit or frozen fruit.
- Milk – Use the milk of your choice. You can make it with a plant-based milk, soy milk, coconut milk, or almond milk. I have even used just water if I was out of milk.
- Seeds – For added health benefits and healthy fats, add in chia seeds, hemp seeds or flax seeds. I usually add in about a tablespoon.
- Protein Powder – There are many types of protein powder that works great in this recipe. Use a vegan protein powder, whey protein powder, or choose your favorite.
- Green Smoothie – An easy way to sneak in veggies is to add in a handful of spinach or kale.
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1 – In a high speed blender, combine the frozen mango chunks, vanilla protein powder, unsweetened almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract.
