Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana
- 1/2 cup mango chunks (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup milk (or plant-based alternative)
- 1 scoop protein powder
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients: 1 ripe banana, 1/2 cup of mango chunks (fresh or frozen), 1 cup of milk (or your choice of plant-based alternative), 1 scoop of protein powder, and a handful of ice cubes.
- If using fresh mango, peel and chop the mango into chunks. If using frozen mango, you can skip this step as it is already prepared.
- Peel the ripe banana and break it into smaller pieces for easier blending.
- In a blender, combine the banana pieces, mango chunks, and protein powder. Make sure to add the protein powder first to prevent clumping.
- Pour in 1 cup of milk or your preferred plant-based milk alternative. This will help the ingredients blend smoothly.
- Add a handful of ice cubes to the blender. This will give your shake a refreshing chill and a thicker consistency.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Once blended, check the consistency of your shake. If it’s too thick, you can add a little more milk and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
- Pour the banana mango protein shake into a glass. You can garnish it with a slice of banana or a few mango chunks on top if you like.
- Enjoy your healthy and delicious banana mango protein shake immediately for the best flavor and texture!
Tips
- Choose the Right Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for a ripe banana and fresh mango chunks. If you’re using frozen mango, it will still taste great, but fresh fruit adds a vibrant touch.
- Blend in the Right Order: To avoid clumping, add the protein powder first before the fruits and liquids. This ensures a smoother blend.
- Adjust Consistency: If your shake turns out too thick, simply add a splash more milk and blend again until you reach your desired texture.
- Add Extras: Feel free to customize your shake! Consider adding a tablespoon of nut butter for healthy fats, a handful of spinach for extra nutrients, or a sprinkle of chia seeds for added fiber.
- Serve Immediately: For the best flavor and texture, enjoy your shake right after blending. Garnish with a slice of banana or a few mango chunks for an appealing presentation!
