Tropical Sunrise Protein Smoothie (Print View)

Creamy mango, pineapple and banana blended with vanilla protein and coconut milk for an energizing morning boost.

# What You Need:

01 - 1 cup frozen mango chunks

02 - 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks

03 - 1 small ripe banana

04 - 1 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed or packaged

05 - 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk

06 - 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, whey or plant-based

07 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds

08 - 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup, for added sweetness

01 - Add the frozen mango chunks, frozen pineapple chunks, banana, orange juice, coconut milk, and protein powder into the blender.

02 - Toss in the chia seeds and honey or agave syrup if desired for extra texture and sweetness.

03 - Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, approximately 45 to 60 seconds.

04 - Taste the smoothie and adjust by adding more orange juice for a thinner consistency or more coconut milk for creaminess.

05 - Pour the smoothie evenly into two glasses and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

01 -

It tastes like vacation in a glass but takes exactly five minutes to throw together on a Tuesday.
The protein powder vanishes completely behind the tropical fruit so you never get that chalky aftertaste.

02 -

Never blend protein powder with hot or even warm liquids because it clumps into unbreakable rubbery bits that ruin the whole thing.
Frozen fruit is non negotiable if you want that thick creamy consistency without watering it down with ice cubes.

03 -

Freeze your bananas peeled and chopped in advance so you never have to wrestle with a rock hard banana at six in the morning.
Always add liquid to the blender before the frozen fruit because it helps the blades catch everything more evenly and prevents that awful grinding noise.
