Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 1 cup mango, fresh or jarred in its own juice and drained, chopped
- 1 cup peach, fresh or jarred in its own juice and drained, chopped
Dairy & Protein
- 8 ounces plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup skim milk
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional)
Others
- 3-4 ice cubes
- Strawberries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the mango, peach, Greek yogurt, skim milk, vanilla protein powder (if using), and ice cubes into a high-powered blender, following the order listed to optimize blending efficiency. If you choose to use frozen fruit instead of fresh or jarred, consider reducing or removing the ice cubes to maintain the desired consistency.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture for 45 to 60 seconds until smooth and free of large chunks. During blending, if the mixture isn’t incorporating well, pause to scrape the sides of the blender to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed and achieve a uniform texture.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the finished smoothie into serving glasses. Optionally, garnish with a fresh strawberry on top for added color and flavor. Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and freshness.
Notes
- Using frozen mango or peach can substitute for ice cubes, offering a thicker, colder smoothie.
- Vanilla protein powder is optional and can be omitted for a lighter smoothie.
- Adjust the amount of milk to reach your preferred smoothie consistency.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt and skim milk with plant-based alternatives like coconut or almond yogurt and milk.
- Serving immediately ensures the best flavor and texture; leftovers can be refrigerated briefly but may separate.
