Ingredient Notes

• Orange juice - the tartness of the orange juice adds the perfect balance to this recipe and will remind you of a Jamba smoothie! A great way to add vitamin C to your diet. You can always swap some or all of the orange juice with pineapple juice, coconut water, oat milk, soy milk, coconut milk, or unsweetened almond milk. Dairy milk or plant-based milk will work.
• Frozen mango chunks - you can find mango chunks anytime of the year, not just mango season! The frozen mangoes are the best option instead of fresh mango because it helps create a creamy smoothie. If you do have fresh fruit, just cut it up and freeze it to use.
• Ice - ice cubes or crushed ice will work great. Optional but helps to create a thicker smoothie.
• Vanilla protein powder - vanilla protein powder adds the perfect sweetness and vanilla flavor to the smoothie. You can use a whey or plant-based vanilla protein powder. Our favorite brands are Clean Simple Eats*, Just Ingredients, and Truvani*. We don't recommend an unflavored protein powder.
• Greek yogurt - this is optional, but a great way to add a little extra protein and creaminess. Plain greek yogurt or vanilla yogurt will work. Plain yogurt will still be plenty sweet in the smoothie. You can use a nonfat greek yogurt or a full fat yogurt depending on your preference. Coconut yogurt is a great dairy free option.
