Instructions
Add all ingredients to a blender.
Blend until very creamy, starting on low and working up to high.
Serve immediately or store for future use.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Shake before serving. Serve cold.
Use whole dairy milk or a
plant milk with fat
and protein in it (like soy milk, Ripple Milk, or Good Karma protein milk).
Sweeten to taste after blending.
Swap in mango for the banana if desired.
Try my
homemade Protein Powder
or one of my favorite
Protein Powders for Kids.
Or skip the added protein.
