There are some substitutions you can make if you want a slightly different protein mango smoothie recipe:
- For a mango coconut milk smoothie, instead of coconut water, use coconut milk instead.
- Add berries if you like, for a more nutrient-dense smoothie.
- If you are vegan, use vegan protein powder, and replace the honey with agave or maple syrup.
