• ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

2. Blend until smooth and creamy.
3. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.

Pro Tips & Swaps

• For a thicker smoothie, add a few ice cubes before blending.
• Use coconut milk instead of almond milk for a richer tropical flavor.
• Add a handful of spinach for an extra nutrient boost without significantly changing the taste.
• Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of chia seeds or ground flaxseed for additional fiber and omega-3 fats.
• Swap mango for frozen peaches or pineapple for a different fruity variation.
• If your protein powder is already strongly flavored, you can omit the vanilla extract.

Storage Tips

• This smoothie is best enjoyed immediately after blending.
• If needed, store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
• Shake or stir well before drinking, as separation may occur.
• Freezing is not recommended, as it may alter the texture once thawed.
