Mango Protein Shake Video

Recipe Mango Chunks *** Can be frozen or fresh. Banana *** Slice into chunks, can be frozen as well. Non-fat Greek Yogurt *** Can subtitute w/ milk (almond, soy or skim milk) Pineapple Juice *** Can subtitute w/ any 100% juice of your choice Scoop of Protein *** Use as much and any protein you wish, ex. Whey, Casein, Spirulina A good blender Optional: Add any greens of your choice, the darker the better (ex. kale, spinach, mustard greens, bok choy, etc) Optional: Add chia seeds, ground flaxseed, grapeseed oil, etc Optional: Add a couple tablespoons of natural coconut water

Directions Cut up fresh mango and a banana into chunks (or use frozen or pre-cut fruit). Use about a cup and drop into the blender. Take a scoop or two of protein and place this into the blender as well *** Also add optional dry ingredients like chia seeds or ground flaxseed. *** Also if using any greens, add them here. Use 3-4 heaping scoops of plain, non-fat greek yogurt. Place about 2 cups of Pineapple Juice into the blender. *** Or use any juice of your choice. Cover blender top & start blending slowly. Gradually increase speed every 5-10 seconds until you are using your highest, most powerful setting. *** If using greens, you need to blend the mixture really well to break down the veggies. Pop open the blender & pour. Enjoy!

Review This shake is fast to prepare and adds a healthy boost to your day. The greek yogurt provides extra protein and less carbs compared to regular yogurt. It also has a probiotic element for your digestive system. If adding in the optional greens or flax/chia seeds, you gain more vitamins, omega-3s and anti-oxidants. The consistency is water-like and goes down smooth, even with greens added. Tips: *** You can pre-cut a large amount of fruit or keep a large bag of frozen fruit to make preparation time decrease for future shakes. *** If using greens, be sure to pull the leaf off the stem if adding larger, thicker greens like mustard greens or kale. Generally spinach can be used as is. *** If the shake winds up being too sweet, decrease the amount of juice used and replace with unsweetened almond or soy milk.
