Blueberry Mango Protein Smoothie

This blueberry mango smoothie is packed with tart blueberries, juicy mango, baby spinach, and almond milk. I like to add scoop of plant-based vanilla protein powder to boost the protein content and make this a healthy and satisfying grab-and-go breakfast meal.

Blueberry and mango are a complementary fruit pairing and go well together in this smoothie. That slight tartness from the blueberries and the sweetness from the mango create a lovely and refreshing flavor combination.

This has been my new favorite smoothie recipe and I’m so excited to share with it with you. It’s low in fat, high in protein from the protein powder, and even has a serving of vegetables from the baby spinach.  

It’s vegan, has only 5 ingredients, and takes less than 5 minutes to make. It’s also made without yogurt and no banana.

Blueberry mango smoothie ingredients

Here is everything you’ll need to make this healthy and tasty smoothie recipe.

Blueberries: I like to use wild blueberries because they are rich in antioxidants. If you can’t find wild blueberries, regular ones work great in this smoothie as well.

I recommend using frozen fruit to help keep the smoothie cold without having to water it down by adding ice cubes.

Mango: I use frozen mango in this smoothie. It’s more convenient than peeling and chopping up a fresh mango.

Mangoes are rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, and are a good source of fiber.

Baby spinach: You won’t be able to taste the spinach in this smoothie, but you’ll enjoy all the healthy benefits.

It’s a good source of iron, folate, and magnesium. Baby spinach also contains lutein, which can help promote good eye health.  

Milk: I use unsweetened almond milk in this smoothie. You can use any plant-based milk you wish or regular dairy milk.

Protein powder: I like using plant-based vanilla protein powder in this smoothie. It helps to add a little sweetness and make this a more filling breakfast or mid-day snack.

Optional mix-ins

Below are some optional ingredients you can add to this smoothie.

Sweetener: If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, you can add 1 tablespoon of honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar. Alternatively, you can also add a Medjool date to make it sweet.

Chia seeds or flaxseeds: These are a good source of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.  

Hemp seeds: These are a good source of protein and healthy fats, which can support heart health and digestion.

Spirulina or barley grass juice powder: This can help boost immune system and improve heart health. It’s also a good source of iron.
