Energizing Smoothie mit Mango – A Perfect Pick-Me-Up
Ingredients
- 1 large ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1 cup mango smoothie mix (or orange juice for extra citrus flavor)
- ½ cup Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for a dairy-free option)
- ½cup milk of choice(almond, coconut, or regular milk)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
- ½ cup ice cubes (adjust based on your preferred thickness)
Optional Add-Ins for Customization:
- ½ banana for extra creaminess
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds for added fiber
- A handful of pineapple for a tropical twist
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder for a protein boost
Instructions
- Step 1: Prep the Mango Start by peeling and dicing a ripe mango. If your mango is extra juicy, you might want to freeze the chunks for an even colder smoothie.
- Step 2: Add the Ingredients to the Blender In a high-speed blender, add the mango chunks, mango smoothie mix, Greek yogurt, milk, and honey (if using). If you prefer a thicker smoothie, add ice cubes or a frozen banana.
- Step 3: Blend Until Smooth Blend on high speed for about 30-45 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more mango smoothie mix or milk and blend again.
- Step 4: Taste and Adjust Give your smoothie a taste—if you want it sweeter, add a bit more honey or a splash of orange juice. For a thinner consistency, add a little more liquid and blend again.
- Step 5: Serve and Enjoy! Pour your Smoothie mit Mango into a tall glass, garnish with a mango slice or a sprinkle of chia seeds, and enjoy immediately! For an extra refreshing touch, serve with a few ice cubes or a chilled glass.
