Ingredients:
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen passionfruit pulp
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional for added texture and nutrition)
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional for extra sweetness)
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare Ingredients:
- If you haven’t done so already, peel and chop the mango into chunks.
- If using fresh passionfruit, scoop out the pulp and discard the seeds.
- Assemble Blender:
- Place the frozen mango chunks, passionfruit pulp, vanilla protein powder, Greek yogurt, and chia seeds into a blender.
- Add Liquid:
- Pour in the almond milk into the blender. Adjust the amount based on your desired thickness. If you like a thicker smoothie, start with less liquid and add more if needed.
- Sweeten to Taste:
- Add honey or agave syrup if you prefer a sweeter smoothie. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness as necessary.
- Blend Until Smooth:
- Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed until the ingredients are well combined and the smoothie reaches a creamy consistency. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add more almond milk a little at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Check Consistency:
- Pause the blender and check the consistency. If you prefer a colder smoothie, you can add a handful of ice cubes and blend again until smooth.
- Serve:
- Pour the smoothie into a glass or your favorite container.
- Garnish (Optional):
- For an extra touch, you can garnish the smoothie with a few additional mango chunks, passionfruit seeds, or a sprinkle of chia seeds on top.
