ingredient spotlight

Frozen mango – fresh or frozen (frozen blend is best) Frozen pineapple – fresh, frozen or canned (drain the juice if using canned). Frozen Cauliflower Rice – This blends into the background of the smoothie but doesn’t taste like it (I promise). Do not use fresh cauliflower rice, instead use frozen spinach (it will change color). Vanilla Protein Powder – I use vegan vanilla protein, but you can also use whey, collagen, or beef protein (I used vanilla). Greek yogurt – regular or dairy-free, plain or vanilla. Milk – dairy or non-dairy

Other additions

Fresh Ginger – Adds a spicy kick. Peel off the 1/2 inch knob. Additional fruit – try bananas, berries, or mango (berries may change color). Fiber and healthy fats – add chia seeds, flax meal, nuts and seeds. Nut Butter – Add creaminess with cashew butter, tahini, or sunbutter. Add – Coconut flakes, cinnamon, oats (rolled or quick).

important tips

Use frozen fruit – Frozen mango and pineapple create a rich, creamy texture without the use of ice. Make ahead – Save time by portioning out smoothie ingredients and freezing them. Just dump and blend when ready. Adjust sweetness – Taste before eating. If desired, add honey, maple syrup, or pitted Medjool dates for natural sweetness (this must be blended). Fortify nutrition – Mix in chia seeds, flax flour, or spinach to add fiber and nutrients without affecting flavor.
