Description

Kickstart your day with tropical fruit and plant-based protein in this easy mango protein smoothie! Enjoy the sweetness of mango and pineapple with a little zing from the lime and ginger. The protein comes from hemp seeds and chia seeds. Add a scoop of your favorite vegan protein powder for an even bigger boost!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups unsweetened, plain non-dairy milk (I like almond or coconut milk)
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen pineapple
  • 1 cup frozen mango
  • 2 large handfuls baby spinach
  • 3 tablespoons raw hulled hemp seeds (adds 10 grams of protein)
  • 1 large juicy lime, zested and juiced
  • 3 large pitted Medjool dates (or 1.5 tablespoons pure maple syrup)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seed or ground flaxseed (optional)
  • 2 scoops unflavored plant-based protein powder (optional for added protein)
  • 1-inch fresh ginger root, peeled

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender.
  2. Blend on high speed for at least one minute until completely smooth (especially the ginger). Add a bit more milk or use a tamper to help with the blending if necessary.
  3. Optional: To make it extra frosty, add 1 cup of crushed ice after the first blend and blend again.
  4. Pour into two large glasses. Serve immediately.

Notes

Add a small handful raw blanched slivered almonds (not sliced almonds) for added creaminess and protein. Raw cashews also work.

The nutrition facts account for protein with the optional protein powder included.
