Mangos (or Mangoes – yes, the Oxford English Dictionary blesses both spellings, so go with whichever feels right to you!) are a sweet, fleshy, tropical fruit that works perfectly in a smoothie. Here’s how to make a Mighty Mango Protein Smoothie.

Make sure your mangos are fully ripe before slicing. A ripe mango will have a a yellowish-orange hue or even a red hue. If it’s green – it’s not ripe. Wait it out!

Mangos

I freeze sliced mango to use in smoothies. You can use fresh mango in smoothies, of course, but you might want to add some crushed ice if you like your smoothies cold.

Since I make smoothies daily, I keep an abundance of frozen fruits in my freezer. For fresh fruits that are in season and that I want to freeze, or like bananas that I peel and break in half, I use these silicone reusable ziplock bags. Money-saver and eco-friendly!

I use my Vitamix to blend up unsweetened almond milk, protein powder, a little frozen banana, a dash of powdered ginger, a few chucks of frozen pineapple and plenty of frozen mango. I like to go heavy on the mango so you can really taste it, otherwise it has a tendency to be overpowered by stronger flavored fruits.

Blueberry Pineapple Protein Smoothie

When blueberries are in season, this healthy Blueberry Pineapple Protein Smoothie is a favorite to make. It’s also gluten-free and dairy-free.

Actually, I make it all the time, thanks to frozen blueberries, which always live in my freezer. That said, freezing a batch of fresh blueberries to use in your smoothies and other recipes is always a good thing, so be sure and stock up when they’re in season!

I use my favorite high-powered blender to blend this smoothie. A high-powered blender works best because those frozen fruits need to be pulverized, otherwise, it’s not a “smoothie,” it’s a “chunky,” and no one wants that!

As usual, I blend in stages. First I add the almond milk and protein powder and blend. This helps mix the dry and wet ingredients before adding the frozen bits. Otherwise, the powder tends to clump when mixed with the frozen fruits.

Finally, I add a spoonful of almond butter and the frozen blueberries, pineapple and banana bits. Give it a high-powered blend and it’s done!
