Whip up a refreshing protein vanilla mango shake.
Delicious! I drink protein smoothies several times per week and am always looking for new ideas. I had all the ingredients on hand, and this one sounded really good - and it was! Of course the calorie count will depend on what whey protein you use (they vary greatly) and also your yogurt and almond milk choices. I used Optimum Nutrition French Vanilla Creme whey, Dannon Light & Fit vanilla greek non-fat yogurt, and Blue Diamond original sweetened almond/coconut blend. The calories came out to only 290 per serving, and the serving size is VERY generous (I got to fill up my glass twice - YAY!). It is plenty filling and perfect as a quick breakfast or after-workout snack. Thank you Lela, I'll be making this again and again!

What a guilt free mid afternoon pick me up! I have shied away from protein powder because my DS uses it in nasty looking and smelling potions, but it is fine this way. Thanks, Lela!
My kids said this was the best smoothie they've ever had. Thank you Lela!!
Wonderful smoothie! My mango was very ripe so I thought this would turn out very sweet but it didn't. Needed to add a few tsps of the optional honey for my taste. I had to go with what I had on hand so I used plain Greek yogurt (adding a small amount of vanilla extract), and vanilla soy milk in place of the almond milk. I don't like to change out ingredients like that, but sometimes you have no choice if you really want to make it. The texture was excellent, and I didn't miss the usual banana. All-around great smoothie, Lela!
I was just looking to make a mango smoothie without the protein, so I took out the protein powder and the smoothie still taste great!
I was looking for a yummy protein smoothie for my growing son to send him off to school with a healthy addition to his breakfast. Now the whole family drinks it! We love it! I was out of mangoes, so I also have used bananas. Delicious!
I used coconut cream and milk instead of yogurt and almond milk, and used vanilla extract instead of protein powder. It was pretty good, and made a tasty, filling breakfast, although, even when I added more mango, It lacked some flavor.
this smoothy was delicious but I feel like the mango flavor was kinda washed out other than that though it was a delicious smoothy
