This Mango Coconut Protein Smoothie is a creamy, tropical delight packed with protein and natural sweetness. Made with fresh mango, coconut milk, and vanilla protein powder, this smoothie is perfect for a post-workout refuel, a quick breakfast, or a refreshing summer treat. It's dairy-free, gluten-free, and bursting with flavor!

Ingredients
    For the Smoothie Base:
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen mango chunks
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (or coconut water for a lighter version)
  • 1 medium banana (for creaminess and natural sweetness)
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (plant-based or whey)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (optional for extra protein and creaminess)
  • 1 tablespoon shredded coconut (optional for added texture)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust based on sweetness preference)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for enhanced flavor)
  • 4 ice 4-6 cubes (for a thicker consistency)
    • For the Toppings (Optional):
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon toasted coconut flakes
  • Fresh mango slices
Instructions
    Prepare the Ingredients
  1. 1
    Gather all ingredients and measure them accurately. If using fresh mango instead of frozen, chop it into small chunks and freeze for at least 2 hours for a thicker smoothie.
    2. Blend the Smoothie
  2. 2
    In a high-speed blender, add the frozen mango, coconut milk, banana, protein powder, Greek yogurt (if using), shredded coconut, honey (if using), and vanilla extract. Blend on high for 45-60 seconds or until smooth and creamy. Add ice cubes and blend again until the smoothie reaches the desired consistency.
    3. Adjust and Serve
  3. 3
    Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup if needed. Pour into serving glasses. Garnish with chia seeds, toasted coconut flakes, or fresh mango slices for extra flavor and texture.
Note
  • Storage: This smoothie is best enjoyed immediately, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking.
  • Variations: Swap the protein powder for collagen peptides for a skin-boosting alternative. Use almond or oat milk instead of coconut milk for a different flavor.
  • Make it Vegan: Use plant-based yogurt and protein powder, and replace honey with maple syrup or agave.
