Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I enjoy this recipe because it’s incredibly quick and requires almost no prep. I like that it’s packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats, which helps keep me full longer.

Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of Ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

½ cup blueberries
½ cup chopped mango
1 scoop vegan vanilla protein powder
½ banana
½ tablespoon chia seeds
¼ cup dairy-free milk

Directions

I start by pouring the dairy-free milk into the blender first to help everything blend smoothly. Then I add the blueberries, mango, banana, protein powder, and chia seeds. I blend everything until the mixture is completely creamy and smooth. Once it reaches the texture I like, I pour it into a glass and enjoy it right away.

Servings And Timing

This recipe makes 1 serving.
Preparation time is about 5 minutes, and since there’s no cooking involved, the total time is also 5 minutes.

Variations

I like changing the flavor by swapping the blueberries for strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries. Sometimes I replace the mango with pineapple for a more tropical taste. When I want a creamier texture, I use a thicker dairy-free milk or add a bit of dairy-free yogurt. I also enjoy replacing chia seeds with flax seeds or hemp seeds, or adding a small handful of spinach for extra nutrients.

Storage/Reheating

I usually drink this smoothie immediately, but if I have leftovers, I store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day. If it becomes thinner after sitting, I just blend it again with a few ice cubes or extra fruit. I also like freezing it and letting it thaw slightly for a thicker, almost frozen texture.

FAQs

Can I make this smoothie without protein powder?

I can skip the protein powder if needed, but I usually add seeds or nut butter to keep it more filling.

Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh?

I often use frozen fruit because it makes the smoothie thicker and colder without needing ice.

How can I make the smoothie sweeter?

I make it sweeter by using a very ripe banana or adding a small splash of maple syrup.

What dairy-free milk works best?

I like oat milk for creaminess, but soy milk works well when I want extra protein.

Can I prepare this smoothie ahead of time?

I often freeze all the ingredients together and blend them when I’m ready to drink.

Conclusion

I keep making this mango blueberry smoothie because it’s fast, nutritious, and full of fresh flavor. It’s perfect for mornings, snacks, or anytime I want something healthy without spending time in the kitchen. This is one recipe I never get tired of enjoying.
