Ingredients

  • Whey protein powder 1 scoop (30g)
  • Fresh spinach 1 cup (240g)
  • Frozen mango chunks 1 cup (240g)
  • Chia seeds 1 tbsp (14g)
  • Almond milk (unsweetened) 1 cup (240g)
  • Banana 1 medium (118g)

Method

  1. Prepare ingredients. Gather all ingredients. Wash fresh spinach thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Peel the banana and break it into chunks for easier blending.
    Tip: Using ripe bananas adds natural sweetness, reducing the need for added sugars.
  2. Add base liquids and greens. Pour 1 cup (240g) of unsweetened almond milk into your blender. Add 1 cup (240g) of fresh spinach on top of the liquid. Starting with liquids helps the blender work more efficiently.
    Tip: Adding greens after liquids prevents them from sticking to the blender blades.
  3. Add fruits and protein. Add 1 medium banana (118g) and 1 cup (240g) of frozen mango chunks into the blender. Then add 1 scoop (30g) of whey protein powder. These ingredients provide the bulk of flavor, protein, and carbs.
    Tip: Frozen mango keeps the smoothie cold and thick without needing ice.
  4. Add chia seeds. Add 1 tablespoon (14g) of chia seeds to the blender. These seeds will thicken the smoothie slightly and add fiber and healthy fats.
    Tip: If you prefer a thinner smoothie, you can soak chia seeds in almond milk for 10 minutes before blending.
  5. Blend until smooth. Secure the blender lid tightly. Blend on high speed for about 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no large chunks of fruit or spinach remaining.
    Tip: If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk and blend again to reach your desired consistency.
  6. Serve immediately. Pour the smoothie into a tall glass. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
    Tip: You can garnish with a sprinkle of chia seeds or a slice of mango for presentation.

Pro tips

  • Use frozen fruit to avoid adding ice, which can water down the flavor.
  • For extra creaminess, add a tablespoon of Greek yogurt or avocado if you want to increase fats slightly.
