Prepare Ingredients.
Gather all ingredients: 1 scoop of whey protein powder, 1 cup of fresh spinach, 1/2 cup of frozen mango cubes, and 3/4 cup of unsweetened almond milk. Make sure the frozen mango is ready to use straight from the freezer.
Tip: Use fresh spinach for better flavor and nutrition. If you prefer a colder smoothie, keep the almond milk chilled. -
Add Ingredients to Blender.
Place the whey protein powder, fresh spinach, frozen mango cubes, and unsweetened almond milk into the blender jar. Add the almond milk last to help the blending process.
Tip: Add liquids last to help the blender blades move smoothly and prevent powder from sticking to the sides. -
Blend Until Smooth.
Secure the blender lid tightly. Blend on high speed for about 30 to 60 seconds or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, with no large chunks of spinach or mango remaining.
Tip: If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk and blend again to reach your desired consistency. -
Serve Immediately.
Pour the smoothie into a tall glass. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Tip: You can garnish with a small spinach leaf or a mango slice for a pretty presentation.
Pro tips
- Use frozen mango to chill the smoothie without watering it down.
- If you want extra creaminess, add a small amount of avocado or a tablespoon of Greek yogurt.
