Instructions for use
#1 Preparation
Make sure your mango and pineapple are ripe. This guarantees not only the best taste but also the maximum nutrient content.
#2 Mix the ingredients
In a blender, combine the mango cubes, pineapple chunks and banana slices. Pour in the almond milk and add Greek yogurt for a velvety texture and added protein.
#3 Amp it up
Sprinkle on chia seeds for an extra dose of fiber, protein and omega-3s. If you want a little more sweetness, add honey or agave nectar. Remember, the riper your fruit is, the less added sweetness you'll need.
#4 Mix the ingredients
Start mixing on low speed and gradually increase to high speed until you achieve a smooth and creamy texture. If the mixture is too thick for your liking, add a little more almond milk and mix again.
#5 Serve the smoothie
Pour your smoothie into a glass. For a refreshing touch, you can garnish it with some fresh mint leaves or even some grated coconut.
#6 Have fun
Drink and enjoy your delicious smoothie, while giving your body the best nutritional gift!
