Mango Protein Smoothie

This is my go-to post-workout protein smoothie recipe because it is simple, delicious, creamy and full of protein and fibre! 

It is perfect for an on-the-go breakfast or pre-workout meal as it's easily digestible, giving you the energy to push your limits during training without feeling heavy or bloated.

Of course, if you don't have protein powder you can use natural greek yoghurt as a protein-rich substitute for a great-tasting smoothie.

Ingredients:

Instructions:

Combine all ingredients except the chia seeds in a blender and mix until smooth. Pour into a tall glass, sprinkle with chia seeds and serve with a straw. Enjoy your Mango Protein Smoothie, prepared in less than 5 minutes!
