Protein Mango Smoothie
This protein mango smoothie delivers natural sweetness, a creamy texture and bold tropical mango flavour. Frozen mango creates a thick, milkshake style consistency, while Greek yoghurt adds richness and, as a result, helps keep the smoothie satisfying. It offers a refreshing way to enjoy fruit while still prioritising protein intake.
Compared to a standard fruit smoothie, this version is lighter and more macro friendly. Fat free Greek yoghurt and semi skimmed milk reduce overall fat and calories, while still maintaining a smooth, creamy finish. Because the mango provides natural sweetness, no added sugar or sweeteners are needed.

How to Make Protein Mango Smoothie
See recipe card for ingredient quantities and full instructions.
Start by adding the milk to the blender first, which helps the ingredients blend more evenly. The Greek yoghurt and frozen mango chunks are added next to create a thick, creamy base.
Blend everything on high until the mixture becomes completely smooth, stopping briefly to scrape down the sides if needed. Once blended, pour into a glass and serve immediately for the best texture and flavour.
Tips
- Use frozen mango: This keeps the smoothie thick and cold without needing ice.
- Boost the protein: Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder for an even higher protein count.
- Adjust thickness: Add a splash of extra milk for a thinner consistency.
Recipe Variations & Substitutions
- Protein Powder: Add one scoop of your favourite protein powder to increase the protein content.
- Milk Alternatives: Skimmed milk or plant based options like almond milk work well.
- Fruit variation: Replace half the mango with frozen pineapple for a tropical twist.
Storage
This protein mango smoothie tastes best when consumed immediately. If needed, it can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 24 hours, although the texture may thin slightly and should be shaken or re blended before drinking.
Frequently Asked Questions
