Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Measure out 1/2 cup of orange juice and pour it into your blender.
- Peel and roughly chop the mango until you have 1/2 cup, then add it to the blender.
- Peel the banana, break it into a few chunks, and place it in the blender.
- Hull the strawberries (remove the green tops) and measure 1/2 cup, then add them to the blender.
- Add 1 scoop of whey protein powder to the blender.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This should take about 1-2 minutes, depending on your blender.
- Open the lid to check the consistency. If your smoothie is too thick, you can add a little more orange juice or water until you reach your desired consistency. Blend again briefly if you add more liquid.
- Pour the smoothie into a glass or a portable smoothie bottle.
- For the best flavor and texture, enjoy your Protein Power Smoothie immediately after blending.
Tips:
- Use freshly squeezed orange juice for the best flavor and nutritional benefits.
- Opt for ripe mango and banana to ensure natural sweetness.
- If you prefer a thicker smoothie, use frozen fruits or add a few ice cubes.
- To enhance the creaminess, consider adding a tablespoon of Greek yogurt.
- Experiment with the type of whey protein powder to match your flavor preference, such as vanilla or unflavored.
With just a few simple ingredients, the Protein Power Smoothie offers a quick and easy way to get a nutritious boost at any time of day. Follow the tips for the best results and enjoy a tasty, satisfying drink that supports your health and fitness goals.
