1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or unflavored work best - see notes)
3/4cupfrozen mango
1/2-inch fresh ginger root
1/2 teaspoonground turmeric
Coconut flakes, chia seeds, or granola for topping (if desired)
Instructions
Combine. Add all ingredients in a blender.
Blend & serve. Blend until completely smooth, about 30 seconds. Add a splash more milk to keep things moving if it's too thick. Pour into your favorite glass and serve immediately, with toppings if desired.
Notes
Smoothie thickness. I love a thick smoothie, so my suggested ingredient ratios reflect that! If the mixture is too thick and having a hard time blending, add another splash of liquid. Likewise, if you prefer a thinner consistency, feel free to adjust accordingly.
Make-ahead. You can make this smoothie ahead and store it in your fridge sealed in an airtight container until the next day. Also you can freeze a smoothie for later by sealing it in an airtight container (such as a mason jar), leaving enough space below the lid for the smoothie to expand when frozen. When ready to eat, thaw in the fridge or at room temp! You can also freeze a smoothie in an ice cube tray and blend the smoothie cubes later with a bit more milk.
