Optional Recipe Variations Of The Mango Weight Loss Smoothie
There are alternative ingredients you can use to make this delicious smoothie, but these are optional.
Whenever I make this smoothie again, I always make sure to change some of the ingredients and experiment.
Here are some of the variations of this healthy mango smoothie for weight loss that I’ve tested:
- Replace the kale with spinach or other leafy greens you like or have.
- Instead of frozen mango, you can use pineapple or bananas.
- Passionfruit can be hard to find sometimes, so instead of passionfruit, you can use lemon or lime juice.
- You can also use dairy-free milk of choice, such as almond milk instead of coconut water.
Nutritional Add-ins
The smoothie is quite nutritious as it is, but there are some additional nutrient-boosting ingredients you can add depending on your goals.
For example:
- For a higher protein smoothie, add a scoop of unsweetened and unflavored protein powder. Pea protein can work great!
- Add a spoonful of almond butter or cashew butter for a richer and more filling smoothie.
- Add Greek yogurt for creaminess and probiotics (note, this is only possible if you are not vegan!). 1/3 cup of yogurt is the right amount to add to the smoothie per serving.
- A tablespoon of matcha powder can add a great amount of antioxidants and a natural energy boost, thanks to the caffeine in green tea.
