Ingredients

  • 1 small ripe* banana
  • 1 1/4 cup [150g] frozen mango chunks
  • 1/3 cup [80g] milk**
  • 1 scoop unflavored*** protein powder (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • The pulp of 1 medium passion fruit

Instructions

  1. Place the banana, mango chunks, milk, protein powder (if using), and salt in a blender. Add the protein powder after adding the milk for easier cleanup. Do not yet add the passion fruit pulp.
  2. Blend starting at low speed and gradually increase the speed to high.
  3. Use your blender’s tamper. If your blender does not have a tamper, pause the blending periodically to scrape down the sides, and use a bit more liquid. If you want it to be thinner (which is easier to blend without a tamper), add a bit more milk, 1 to 2 Tbsp at a time, until it blends easily.
  4. Once the smoothie is blended completely, stop blending and add the passion fruit pulp (reserve a small spoonful for the top if you want it to look like the photos). Blend at low speed, just until it combines. This will ensure that the seeds**** don’t break up.
  5. Pour into a glass and enjoy while it’s cold.

Notes

* This smoothie works best with a ripe banana with brown spots (not overripe). If your bananas are on the large side, use half of one.

** Use your favorite milk of choice: cow’s, oat, soy, etc.

*** I prefer unflavored here. Chocolate or vanilla also work in this recipe. Just consider whatever flavor you’re adding and decide whether it would be a welcome addition.

**** I love the seeds, which are delightfully crunchy (and also look cool!). If you don’t like the seeds, here’s how to get rid of them:

  • If you are using a standard blender, strain the seeds out through a sieve before adding to the blender.
  • If you are using a high-powered blender (like a Vitamix), you can just add the pulp right in at the beginning and let it run on high speed with everything else. They’ll break down into little bits. If you dislike little bits, go for option 1 and strain ahead of time.
