Ingredients

  • Whey protein powder 1.5 scoops
  • Spinach 1 cup
  • Frozen mango 100 grams
  • Almond milk unsweetened 1 cup

Method

  1. Prepare Ingredients. Gather all ingredients: whey protein powder, fresh spinach, frozen mango, and unsweetened almond milk. Measure each ingredient carefully to match the recipe amounts.
    Tip: Use a kitchen scale for accuracy, especially for the frozen mango and spinach.
  2. Add Liquids to Blender. Pour 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk into your blender first. Adding liquids first helps the blades move smoothly and prevents powder from sticking.
    Tip: If you prefer a thicker smoothie, reduce almond milk slightly or add ice cubes.
  3. Add Spinach and Frozen Mango. Add 1 cup of fresh spinach leaves and 100 grams of frozen mango chunks into the blender over the almond milk.
    Tip: Frozen mango helps chill the smoothie without watering it down.
  4. Add Whey Protein Powder. Scoop 1.5 scoops (about 45 grams) of whey protein powder into the blender. This adds the bulk of the protein content.
    Tip: Level off the scoop to ensure accurate measurement.
  5. Blend Until Smooth. Secure the blender lid tightly. Blend on high for about 30-45 seconds or until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no visible chunks of spinach or mango.
    Tip: If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more almond milk and blend again.
  6. Serve Immediately. Pour the smoothie into a tall glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
    Tip: Use a straw or spoon to enjoy every bit of this nutritious drink.

Pro tips
