TIPS
Here are some helpful tips for you when making this mango coconut shake.
- Use Frozen Mango: This makes the shake colder and eliminates the need for ice cubes while preserving nutrients.
- Ensure Smooth Blending: If using a lower-powered blender, blend the coconut milk and protein powder first before adding the mango chunks.
- Enhance The Flavour: Add a squeeze of lime or a pinch of cinnamon for a unique tropical twist.
- Boost The Nutrition: Add a teaspoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds for additional fibre and omega-3s.
- Make It More Filling: Blend in a handful of oats for a thicker, meal-replacement-style smoothie.
- For A Richer Texture: Use full-fat coconut milk for a creamier, more indulgent shake.
VARIATIONS
- Nut-Free Option: This shake is already nut-free, but you can swap coconut milk for oat or rice milk for a different flavour.
- Berry Blend: Mix in strawberries or pineapple for a fruity tropical mix.
- Higher Protein: Increase the protein powder to 15g or add a tablespoon of hemp seeds for an extra protein boost.
- Chocolate Twist: Add a teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder for a chocolate-mango combination.
- Spiced Version: Blend in a pinch of turmeric and ginger for an anti-inflammatory boost.
- Lower Fat Option: Use light coconut milk instead of full-fat for a lower-calorie shake.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigeration: This shake is best enjoyed immediately, but it can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 12 hours. Shake or stir well before drinking, as separation may occur.
- Freezing: Freeze the shake in an ice cube tray and blend the frozen cubes with extra coconut milk when ready to drink.
- Meal Prep: Pre-measure the mango and protein powder into small containers for an easy grab-and-blend option.
