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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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
- Use fresh spinach to maximize nutrients and flavor.
