Mango Strawberry Glow Protein Smoothie Recipe
This recipe combines the tropical sweetness of mango with the juicy flavor of strawberries, all while providing a boost of protein with strawberry banana protein powder. It's a perfect way to start your day or recharge after a workout.
Ingredients:
- 1 scoop of BioHealth's Precision Blend Strawberry Banana protein powder
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks
- 1/2 cup frozen strawberries
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen banana slices
- 1 cup coconut water

- Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker smoothie)
Instructions:

- Pour the smoothie into a glass or jar, and serve immediately.
- Enjoy!
Tips and Variations:
- Make It Vegan: Use a plant-based protein powder and a non-dairy milk alternative like almond or coconut milk to keep the smoothie vegan-friendly.
- Add Greens for a Nutritional Boost: To increase the nutritional value, add a handful of spinach or kale to the blender. It won't significantly alter the flavor but will add extra vitamins and minerals.
- Sweeten to Taste: If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup to the mix, or use a ripe banana for natural sweetness.
- Make It a Smoothie Bowl: To turn this smoothie into a smoothie bowl, use less almond milk to create a thicker consistency, then pour into a bowl and add toppings like granola, coconut flakes, or chopped nuts.
