A creamy, tropical mango pineapple protein smoothie that is quick, nourishing, and perfect for weight loss. It balances tropical sweetness with protein-packed satisfaction for a refreshing and filling treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup ripe mango, peeled and chopped (about 165g)
  • 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks (about 140g)
  • 1 heaping tablespoon vanilla protein powder (about 30g)
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (120ml)
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (240ml)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (15ml)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • A handful of ice cubes (about 5-6, optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and chop 1 cup of ripe mango into chunks.
  2. Measure 1 cup of frozen pineapple chunks straight from the freezer.
  3. Add 1 heaping tablespoon of vanilla protein powder into the blender.
  4. Pour in ½ cup of plain Greek yogurt and 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk.
  5. Add 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice.
  6. Optionally add 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup and 1 tablespoon of chia seeds.
  7. Add a handful of ice cubes if desired for extra chill and frothiness.
  8. Secure the blender lid and blend on high for 45-60 seconds until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides if needed.
  9. Check consistency; if too thick, add a splash more almond milk and blend for 10 more seconds.
  10. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.

Notes

Use ripe mangoes that yield slightly to gentle pressure for best flavor. Frozen pineapple chunks help with texture and chill. Vanilla protein powder is recommended for smoothness and mild flavor. Avoid over-blending chia seeds to prevent gel-like texture. Drink smoothie within 15 minutes for optimal freshness. Can prep mango chunks ahead and freeze for convenience.
