Healthy and Refreshing Mango Protein Smoothie with Turmeric and Ginger
This mango protein smoothie is deliciously refreshing and so easy to make! I’m picky about my smoothies, and this one has become one of my go-to protein drink recipes that I’ve perfected over the years.
If you’re like me and are constantly trying to find healthy and yummy protein smoothies to make from home, then this is your lucky day!
I used to think making smoothies was such a pain, but it’s become much easier once I found a few recipes that I enjoy, like this one and my creamy chocolate protein shake recipe!
This mango protein smoothie took me a few tries to perfect, and I’m really happy with the results. I use protein powder and almond milk to give it the perfect consistency, and there are a few other ingredients I use to take it up a notch!
Ingredients
- Almond Milk – This is the liquid base. You can also use oat milk or dairy milk.
- Vanilla Protein Powder – I use this bone broth protein now that contains 20g of protein per serving. SFH and Ascent are also great brands for clean protein powder.
- Frozen Mango Chunks – Already pre-washed and diced, this saves a lot of prep time. I get mine from Trader Joe’s. Fresh mango works too, just add little more ice for consistency.
- Banana – A little banana really helps make this the perfect post-workout drink and adds to the creamy texture.
- Ginger Paste – This stays fresh in the fridge and is so easy to use. You can also use fresh ginger (about a 1-inch slice).
- Turmeric – Adds a little warmth and spice and has great health benefits. Add a crack or two of black pepper to get the most benefit from the turmeric.
- Cinnamon – Optional, but I think just a dash of cinnamon really compliments this mango protein smoothie recipe.
How To Make This Mango Protein Smoothie with Ginger & Turmeric Recipe
- Put Everything in the Blender. I usually add the almond milk first, then the other ingredients. If you have fresh ginger, just slice a piece off and toss it in.
- Blend it Up. Put the lid on and blend until smooth. If it looks a little too thick, just add some more almond milk.
Helpful Tools
- Measuring Spoons – These are useful for the ginger paste, turmeric, and cinnamon.
- Blender – I use my trusty Ninja blender to mix all the mango protein smoothie ingredients together. It comes with two cups that attach straight to the blender.
