A quick and delicious smoothie bowl combining fresh spinach, frozen mango, Greek yogurt, and protein powder for a nutritious and filling breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (30g) fresh spinach, packed
  • 1 cup (150g) frozen mango chunks
  • ½ cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 scoop (~30g) vanilla protein powder
  • ½ cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract
  • Optional toppings: sliced fresh mango, toasted coconut flakes, granola, fresh berries or pomegranate seeds

Instructions

  1. Measure out all ingredients: 1 cup fresh spinach, 1 cup frozen mango chunks, ½ cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, ½ cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional), and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract.
  2. Add almond milk to the blender first to help blades move smoothly.
  3. Add spinach, frozen mango, Greek yogurt, protein powder, chia seeds, honey/maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the blender.
  4. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until thick, creamy, and smooth with no visible spinach leaves. Stop and scrape down sides if needed.
  5. Adjust consistency by adding more almond milk if too thick or more frozen mango chunks/ice if too thin, then blend again.
  6. Pour smoothie mixture into two wide serving bowls.
  7. Top with sliced fresh mango, toasted coconut flakes, granola, and fresh berries or pomegranate seeds as desired.
  8. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 24 hours and stir in almond milk before eating.

Notes

Pulse spinach with almond milk first for smoother blending. Use frozen mango for thickness; if using fresh mango, add ice cubes to maintain texture. Choose mild vanilla protein powder to avoid overpowering flavors. Greek yogurt adds creaminess and tang; substitute coconut yogurt for dairy-free. Store leftovers in fridge up to 24 hours and stir before eating.
