Description
A quick and easy tropical protein smoothie bowl that’s thick, creamy, and packed with protein. Perfect for busy mornings or post-workout fuel with fresh pineapple, mango, and a creamy base.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large frozen banana (about 1 ½ cups, sliced)
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks
- ½ cup fresh pineapple, chopped
- ½ cup vanilla Greek yogurt (or dairy-free coconut yogurt for vegan option)
- ¼ cup canned full-fat coconut milk
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (about 30g)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- Toppings: sliced kiwi, toasted coconut flakes, fresh berries, granola, or chopped nuts
Instructions
- Prep your ingredients: slice the banana and chop fresh pineapple into bite-size pieces. Measure out frozen mango chunks and other ingredients.
- Add frozen banana, mango chunks, fresh pineapple, Greek yogurt, and coconut milk into a high-speed blender. Start with ¼ cup coconut milk and add more if needed.
- Blend on high speed until smooth and thick, scraping down the sides as needed. Adjust consistency by adding more coconut milk or frozen banana slices.
- Add vanilla protein powder, chia seeds (if using), lime juice, and honey or maple syrup. Pulse blend for 15-30 seconds to combine without thinning the smoothie.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or tang by adding more pineapple or lime juice if desired.
- Pour the thick smoothie into serving bowls and arrange chosen toppings on top.
- Serve immediately for best creamy texture. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 24 hours and stir in coconut milk before eating.
Notes
For extra thick bowls, freeze banana slices overnight. Let frozen fruit soften for 5 minutes before blending if your blender struggles. Use Greek yogurt for protein and creaminess; substitute with coconut yogurt for vegan option. Add toppings for texture contrast. Store leftovers in fridge up to 24 hours and stir in coconut milk before eating.
