Mango Pineapple Protein Smoothie

Prep: 5 minTotal: 5 minServings: 1 large glass

Ingredients

  • 250 ml (8.5 fl oz) coconut water
  • 150 gr (5.3 oz.) frozen mango chunks
  • 120 gr (4.2 oz.) pineapple chunks (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 banana
  • 1 lemon (juice only)

  • ice cubes (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Pour the coconut water into the blender.
  2. Add the frozen mango and pineapple chunks, the half banana, the lemon juice, chia seeds, peanut butter, grated ginger and the protein powder.
  3. If you like it extra cold, add a few ice cubes.
  4. Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
  5. Pour into a tall glass, garnish as you like and enjoy right away.

Notes

Tip from my kitchen: with frozen fruit the smoothie turns thick like a smoothie bowl – then I eat it with a spoon, topped with a little granola and fresh fruit. Dose the protein powder to taste depending on the brand; an unflavoured or vanilla powder works best. On hot days, freeze the fruit in portions so the smoothie comes together in minutes. And don't worry about the ginger: 1 tsp adds only a fine, fresh kick that pairs beautifully with the sweet mango.
