Servings: 1 person
Equipment
- 1 High speed blender
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen mango
- 2 whole frozen kiwi
- 2 teaspoons chia seeds
- 1/2 cup coconut milk*
- 3/4 cup water or coconut water
- Optional: protein powder
- Optional: small handful of fresh spinach
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to the blender and blend, starting on low and then increasing the speed. Use a blender tamper as needed to push down the fruit till evenly blended and smooth. Pour into a glass and enjoy cold!
Notes
- Depending on the sweetness of the mango, the smoothie shouldn't need any added sweetener. Honey or lucuma powder can be used, to taste.
- Coconut milk can be replaced with any type of milk, it just won't taste as tropical.
- It is difficult to find frozen kiwi. For this recipe I bought kiwi in bulk at Costco and peeled it, then placed whole kiwi in a freezer bag to freeze.
- Add protein powder (I used pumpkin seed protein here) or cottage cheese to boost the protein content.
- Use frozen fruit for a thick smoothie with lots of flavor. For a blended drink, use fresh fruit.
