Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to use coconut water?

Nope! You can use your preferred milk or other liquid of choice. You could even use a protein drink. Just make sure to use the same total liquid amount as stated in the recipe.

How much protein is in this mango smoothie

There’s about 15 grams of protein in 1 serving of this recipe.

How do I make this into a smoothie bowl?

You don’t have to adjust any of the ingredients! Just pour into a bowl and top with your favorite smoothie bowl ingredients. I like to add granola (see recipe below or this Gluten Free Nut Free Granola), fresh fruit, seeds, nuts and nut butter.

How can I make my smoothie thicker?

Use less coconut water or milk! The way this recipe is written, it should have a good thickness to it. However, you can also add more frozen mango and banana for a thicker texture.

Also, the vanilla protein powder helps thicken up a smoothie!

What do I do if I only have fresh fruit?

There are two options! Freeze your fresh fruit and then make the smoothie once it’s frozen. The second option is to add about 1/2 to 1 cup of ice until it reaches your desired consistency.

Can I store leftovers or make this recipe ahead for the next day?

Yes, you can! Store in a glass, sealed container or cup until ready to use or for up to 2 days.
