This mango spinach smoothie, without banana, is still creamy and naturally sweet, thanks to the frozen mango. When soy milk is blended with mango and spinach, it creates a rich and creamy base with the smoothest texture.

If you’ve been looking for a spinach and mango smoothie recipe that’s both vegan and high in plant protein, this green smoothie is for you! Packed with 24 grams of protein from soy milk and pumpkin seed protein powder, this mango protein smoothie delivers lasting energy, muscle recovery support, and satiety without feeling heavy.

It's the perfect high protein green smoothie to fuel you after a workout. Lately, I have been hiking the Pulpit in Nelson, B.C, a fairly intense 30-minute uphill hike in the hopes of building some leg muscle alongside some resistance training to help maintain and build some muscle mass.

I wanted to create some high protein vegan smoothies, so I bought some unflavored pumpkin seed protein powder by Omega Nutrition as an alternative to pea protein powder, and I must say I have been pleasantly surprised by the taste and texture as it tastes great in smoothies.

It has a green colour, thus I find it to be the perfect plant based protein powder to use in green smoothies, especially if you want to maintain the flavors of the smoothie ingredients without the overpowering taste of sweetened protein powders.

I love that this smoothie is not overly sweet or intense, just subtly sweet with a creamy texture and a gentle hint of vanilla. The spinach blends in seamlessly, giving it a vibrant green color while adding a boost of vitamin K, folate and iron.

If you're looking for a mango spinach protein smoothie to refuel after a workout, this one fits the bill. My 4 year old daughter, who can be a picky eater, even enjoyed this smoothie and I find it to be a great smoothie to get greens into her diet.

Mango Spinach Protein Smoothie

• 1 cup frozen mango
• 1 cup fresh spinach
• ¾ cup unsweetened soy milk
• 3 tablespoon pumpkin seed protein powder (Omega Nutrition)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 5 drops liquid monk fruit sweetener (Sweet Monk, French Vanilla)
• ¼ cup ice

Instructions:

1. Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender.
2. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
3. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.

Optional Add-Ins

While I love the subtle flavors of the smoothie as is, I also like to add the following ingredients for a simple variation:

I used liquid monk fruit sweetener by Sweet Monk to naturally sweeten this smoothie. It’s a sugar-free, zero-calorie alternative that tastes great without the overly sweet aftertaste stevia sometimes has. Just 5 drops equals about the same sweetness as 1 teaspoon of sugar. If you’d rather use a natural sweetener, maple syrup works well toom, start with 1 teaspoon and adjust to taste.

I like to add a teaspoon of liposomal vitamin C with phosphatidylcholine for additional liver detox support. Phosphatidylcholine supports phase 3 liver detox and the liposomal vitamin C adds a citrusy tang that blends perfectly into this high protein green smoothie.

A 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice brightens the flavor and supports digestion. You won’t notice the hints of vanilla as much if you add lemon, but I do love the freshness of it.

Try adding a tablespoon of finely chopped fresh ginger for added warmth, flavor, and zest. A little bit of ginger adds all the spice you need to this high protein green smoothie!

Fun Fact: Spinach is one of the top vegetable sources of vitamin K, which is a key nutrient for bone strength. Research indicates that vitamin K may help reduce the risk of fractures, even without increasing bone density.

One study found that postmenopausal women who took vitamin K1 daily had over 50% fewer fractures, and another showed that vitamin K2 could reduce hip fractures by up to 77%. This benefit is thought to come from vitamin K’s ability to improve bone quality rather than just bone density.
