This delicious mango protein smoothie packs a whopping 22 grams of protein. That is surely enough to keep you energized all morning long. This is our go to smoothie for flavor and nutrition. We also love this watermelon banana smoothie and papaya smoothie. This tropical smoothie bowl is pretty awesome also!
The nice thing about this recipe is that you can make it without protein powder, yet still get the benefit of extra protein. The protein comes from all natural nut butter. We add that to all of our smoothies at home. It helps us feel full and nourished.

- It's delicious!
🥭 Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk. You can sub regular milk, soy, or nut milk. For a homemade nut milk, you might want to give this tasty homemade walnut milk a try! It's nutritious, super easy to make, and contains no preservatives.
- ½ cup Greek yogurt. You can substitute frozen yogurt. You can also make this recipe without the yogurt by substituting a small sliced banana. The banana will help thicken it up. This will make a dairy free vegan version.
- ½ teaspoon coconut extract. Optional. This adds a little extra flavor, but it's not necessary at all.
- 3 tablespoons almond butter. You can sub sunflower seed butter, homemade walnut butter or peanut butter. Bear in mind that the peanut butter will add flavor. Most of the protein comes from the nut butter. If you're concerned about fat, you can cut this amount in half and add a serving of your favorite protein powder or omit the nut butter altogether and go with just protein powder if you have a nut allergy.
- 1½ cups mango. Chopped and frozen. For convenience, I suggest buying pre-frozen mango chunks. The mango itself contains about 2 grams of protein.
