Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen mango chunks
- 1/2 large orange, segmented
- 1 cup canned coconut milk
- 1 banana
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Optional Nutritional Add-Ins
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed meal (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- 1 scoop unsweetened protein powder (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients including frozen mango chunks, orange segments, coconut milk, banana, and vanilla extract. If using nutritional add-ins, have them ready as well.
- Blend Ingredients: Place all the main ingredients and any optional nutritional add-ins into a blender. Secure the lid tightly to avoid spills.
- Process Until Smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed until the smoothie reaches a creamy, smooth consistency without any chunks of fruit left.
- Serve and Enjoy: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for the freshest taste and best texture.
Notes
- You can adjust the thickness by adding more or less coconut milk.
- For a colder and thicker smoothie, use frozen bananas as well.
- Add a handful of spinach or kale for a green boost without changing the flavor much.
- Sweeten further if desired with honey or maple syrup, although the fruits usually provide enough natural sweetness.
- This smoothie is best consumed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
