Mango green protein smoothie
5 min · 29 g protein · 329 cals / serving
A thick, bright green smoothie that tastes of mango and lime, not of spinach: frozen mango, half a banana, a big handful of spinach, vanilla plant protein and soy milk, blended until frosty.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened soy milk, cold
- 1 1/2 cups baby spinach
- 3/4 cup frozen mango
- 1/2 medium banana, frozen in slices if you can
- 1 scoop plant protein powder, vanilla pea or soy protein
- 2 tsp lime juice
- 2 ice cubes water
Steps
- Put the soy milk and spinach in the blender first and blend for 20 seconds, until the spinach has disappeared.
- Add the mango, banana, protein powder, lime juice and ice and blend for 45–60 seconds, until completely smooth and thick. Drink straight away.
Good to know
Will I taste the spinach?
No. Baby spinach has a mild taste that the mango and lime cover completely; blending it with the milk first is what stops leafy specks.
Thicker, like a bowl?
Use 50 ml less soy milk and an extra 1/2 cup of frozen mango, then spoon it into a bowl and top with a few berries and a teaspoon of hemp seeds.
