A quick and easy smoothie blending ripe mango, turmeric, and protein powder for a nourishing, weight-loss-friendly drink packed with 30 grams of protein.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup ripe mango, peeled and chopped (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 scoop protein powder (approximately 30 grams of protein; vanilla plant-based preferred)
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (240 ml)
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (125 g; substitute coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • A pinch of ground black pepper
  • 34 ice cubes
  • ½ teaspoon fresh grated ginger (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and chop about 1 cup (165 g) of ripe mango into small chunks. If using frozen mango, let it thaw slightly.
  2. Scoop 1 serving (about 30 grams) of your preferred protein powder.
  3. Add ½ teaspoon turmeric powder and a pinch of ground black pepper into the blender.
  4. Pour in 1 cup (240 ml) of unsweetened almond milk or your choice of dairy/non-dairy milk.
  5. Add ½ cup (125 g) plain Greek yogurt for extra protein and creaminess.
  6. Drizzle 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup if desired for sweetness.
  7. Grate ½ teaspoon fresh ginger directly into the blender (optional).
  8. Add 3-4 ice cubes for chill and thickness.
  9. Blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides halfway through.
  10. Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness by adding more honey or milk if needed, then blend briefly again.
  11. Pour into a glass or shaker bottle and serve immediately.

Notes

Use fresh mango when in season for best flavor; frozen mango works year-round. Always include a pinch of black pepper to activate turmeric’s benefits. Adjust sweetness with honey or maple syrup as needed. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt. If smoothie is too thick, add more almond milk; if too thin, add extra ice or frozen mango chunks. Clean blender immediately after use to avoid turmeric staining.
