Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Servings 2 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup frozen mango chunks
  • 1 small frozen banana (or half a large banana)
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (plant-based or whey)
  • 1 cup lite coconut milk from a carton (or 3/4 cup canned light coconut milk + 1/4 cup water)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut or coconut flakes
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flaxseed
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Ice as needed for thickness
  • Optional: 1–2 teaspoons lime juice for brightness, or 1–2 dates/honey if you prefer sweeter

Instructions
 

  • Add liquids first: Pour the coconut milk into the blender. This helps the blades move smoothly.
  • Add the powders and seeds: Protein powder, chia or flax, vanilla, and salt go in next. They blend more evenly this way.
  • Top with fruit: Add the frozen mango and banana. Drop in a handful of ice if you want it extra thick.
  • Blend until creamy: Start low, then increase to high for 30–45 seconds, scraping the sides if needed.
  • Taste and adjust: Add lime juice for tang, more coconut milk if it’s too thick, or a touch of sweetener if you like it sweeter.
  • Serve immediately: Pour into a chilled glass and sprinkle extra coconut on top if you’re feeling fancy.
