Strawberry Mango Protein Smoothie

This strawberry mango protein smoothie makes for a perfect quick and healthy drink that will boost your energy and keep your hunger at bay, until your next meal. Smoothies are so versatile and full of nutrients which makes them a great option for breakfast or snack. They're especially good as pre-or post-workout beverage. For an extra satisfying smoothie try it with my favorite toppings, healthy granola, and coconut cream!

Pro tip: If you have fruit that is ripe, or just about overripe don't throw it away; that is smoothie gold! You can certainly freeze that fruit and use it at a later time.

First, spread out the fruit in a single layer on a baking sheet, then freeze the fruit on the tray for 2 hours. Lastly, transfer the frozen fruit to a freezer-safe bag and then immediately place it back in the freezer.

The method above is a great shortcut for a future blended beverage. Pre-freezing the fruit on a baking sheet will ensure that it doesn't stick together when frozen.

Additionally, you can buy larger quantities of seasonal fruit (because prices are generally lowest when the fruit is in season) and follow the same freezing process.

Are you a dedicated smoothie enthusiast (smoothusiast?), then you have come to the right place.
