Prepare Ingredients.
Gather all ingredients: 1 scoop whey protein powder, 1 cup frozen mango chunks, 1 cup fresh spinach, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, and 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds. Measure them carefully using a kitchen scale or measuring cups for accuracy.
Tip: Using frozen mango chunks helps create a thick, cold smoothie bowl texture. -
Add Ingredients to Blender.
Place the frozen mango chunks, fresh spinach, whey protein powder, ground flaxseeds, and unsweetened almond milk into a blender. Add the almond milk last to help the blades move smoothly.
Tip: Add liquids last to avoid dry ingredients sticking to the bottom. -
Blend Until Smooth.
Blend all ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a small splash of almond milk and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
Tip: Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender if needed to ensure even blending. -
Serve Your Smoothie Bowl.
Pour the smoothie into a bowl. You can top it with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds if desired, but keep in mind this will alter the nutrition values.
Tip: For a decorative touch, add sliced mango or a sprinkle of flaxseeds on top.
Pro tips
- Use frozen fruit to achieve a thick, spoonable smoothie bowl texture without needing ice.
- If you want a sweeter bowl, add a small amount of honey or a natural sweetener, but adjust calories accordingly.
