Mango Protein Smoothie
From Dominique Astorino, POPSUGAR Fitness
Notes
This recipe calls for frozen mangoes, to add a bit of frosty freshness. If you'd rather sub in fresh mango, go for it! Just make sure your fruit is chilled to keep your drink cold and refreshing. Honey is optional, as the mangoes are already so sweet to begin with.
The last note about the recipe is in regards to the milk, which is used to thin the mix a bit so it's not too thick. You can use soy milk, which has a great amount of protein, or substitute with another milk depending on your dietary needs and preferences.
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen organic, cubed mango
3/4 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1/4 cup soy milk

1 tablespoon raw chia seeds
- For garnish:

Directions
- Blend cottage cheese, soy milk, and honey until the mixture becomes a light, smooth, whipped liquid.
- Add frozen mango; blend on high until smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, add more milk as needed.
- Once the mixture is smooth, add in chia seeds. Pulse until stirred thoroughly. Top with a sprinkle of chia seeds. Enjoy immediately!
