  • 1 cup (165g) ripe mango, peeled and diced (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup (240ml) coconut milk (full-fat canned preferred)
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla protein powder (whey, plant-based, or collagen)
  • 1 medium (120g) ripe banana, peeled

  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 cup (120g) ice cubes (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice about 1 cup (165g) of ripe mango and peel 1 medium banana (120g).
  2. Pour 1 cup (240ml) of coconut milk into your blender.
  3. Add 1 scoop (30g) of vanilla protein powder and 1/2 cup (120ml) of Greek yogurt or dairy-free alternative.
  4. Drizzle in 1 tablespoon (15ml) of honey or maple syrup if desired for extra sweetness.
  5. Add 1 tablespoon (15ml) of fresh lime juice.
  6. Add the diced mango and banana to the blender.
  7. Optionally, toss in 1 teaspoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds for extra fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
  8. Add about 1/2 cup (120g) of ice cubes if you want a chilled smoothie.
  9. Blend on low speed, then ramp up to high for 45–60 seconds until silky smooth and creamy. Scrape down sides if needed.

  11. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use ripe mango and banana for best sweetness. Add liquids first to help blending. Blend for at least 45 seconds for smooth texture. Adjust thickness with more coconut milk or frozen fruit. A pinch of sea salt can enhance mango sweetness. Store leftovers in airtight container in fridge up to 24 hours; stir before drinking.
