Why You Will Love This Protein Green Smoothie

Nutrient-Dense: This smoothie is a powerhouse of nutrition. You get a significant amount of your daily protein needs, along with essential vitamins and minerals from the greens and fruits. It’s an efficient way to consume a wide array of nutrients in one go.
Satisfying and Filling: Thanks to the high protein content and the healthy fats from the avocado, this smoothie is particularly filling. It can serve as a breakfast or a satisfying post-workout meal that keeps you full for hours.
Easy to Make: Like most smoothies, this one is very simple to prepare. Just toss all the ingredients into a blender, and blend. Voila, you have a nutritious meal or snack ready in minutes.
Tasty and Refreshing: The natural sweetness of the mango makes this smoothie delicious and refreshing, masking the taste of the spinach nicely.
Versatile: You can easily customize this smoothie to suit your taste or dietary needs. For example, you can swap the mango for another fruit or avoid using protein powders.
Healthy Hydration: The ingredients in this smoothie, particularly the fruits and vegetables, provide hydration in addition to their nutritional benefits, making it a great choice for starting your day or replenishing fluids after exercise.
Rich in Fiber: The chia seeds and avocado contribute to fiber, making this smoothie high in fiber. A serving of this smoothie contains 12.5g of fiber!

If you enjoy this smoothie, I recommend that you also try my 300 calories protein green smoothie and my broccoli green smoothie.

Need to swap a few ingredients or want to elevate it more? Try some of my suggestions below:

Use Yogurt: Swap the protein powder for 1/2 cup of yogurt.
Use Cottage Cheese: Swap the protein powder for 1/2 cup of cottage cheese.
Vegan No Protein Powder Version: use 1/2 cup of drained silken tofu. Trust me, you cannot taste the tofu in the smoothie!

Nutty Version: Add a tablespoon of nut butter. I have tested almond butter, and it worked wonderfully.
Sweeteners: If you like your smoothies sweet, add a teaspoon of maple syrup.
More Fruits: Add another type of fruit, such as 1/2 cup of frozen berries of choice, or more tropical fruits.

The Base: Instead of almond milk, swap it for another plant milk or use coconut water instead.
The Mango: Use frozen bananas instead of mango, or other fruit you like instead.
The Spinach: Can be replaced for kale if you prefer kale protein green smoothies.

The smoothie recipe has worked well with all my different blenders and models.

If you own a blender not listed above, I strongly believe you should be able to successfully make this smoothie recipe with it.

Is This Smoothie Suitable For Kids?
- Yes, the smoothie is suitable for kids. I do recommend that you add a source of extra sweetness though. Like a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup!
Can I Make This Smoothie Ahead of Time?
- I recommend that you consume the smoothie as soon as it’s blended, since the longer it sits out, it thaws and the texture changes.
Can I Freeze This Smoothie?
- Yes, you can! Pour the smoothie into an ice cube tray or freezer-safe containers. Once frozen, you can transfer the smoothie cubes into a freezer bag. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply blend the smoothie cubes with a little almond milk to achieve the desired consistency.
