Units
Scale
- 1 cup mango, fresh or jarred in its own juice and drained, chopped
- 1 cup peach, fresh or jarred in its own juice and drained, chopped
- 8 ounces plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup skim milk
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional)
- 3–4 ice cubes
- Strawberries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Combine the mango, peach, yogurt, milk, protein powder, and ice in a high-powered blender. Make sure all ingredients are added in the order listed for optimal blending results. If using frozen fruit, you may reduce or omit the ice cubes.
- Process Until Smooth: Blend for 45-60 seconds or until the mixture sounds smooth and no more large chunks are being processed. If your blender is struggling, stop occasionally to scrape down the sides and ensure all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the smoothie into glasses and garnish with a fresh strawberry if desired. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor experience.
Notes
- For a thicker smoothie, use frozen fruit or add more ice.
- You can substitute skim milk with almond milk, coconut milk, or any plant-based alternative.
- Adding a banana will make the smoothie creamier and sweeter.
- Consider adding a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseed for added fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
- This smoothie can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, though it tastes best when freshly made.
