Mango Orange Green Shake

This healthy green protein smoothie is sweet, portable and makes the perfect snack! I love smoothies because they’re such an easy way to boost nutrients and refuel. The best part about this mango smoothie is that it works for everything! Use it for breakfast, a midday snack or a post workout shake. It’s made to boost your nutrient intake, keep you full and taste great. Green smoothies have long been one of my favorite ways to up my vegetable intake. But shakes, in general, have been a go-to of mine. Using shakes as snacks allows you to consume a variety of health-promoting foods that you normally wouldn’t have time or bother to get in.

This mango orange smoothie is perfectly balanced containing fruits (carbohydrates) to give you energy or replenish your muscles, spinach to boost your health, avocado to give your body some necessary fats and protein to keep you full. Because it contains a variety of nutrients, it makes the ideal smoothie.

You can whip one up for breakfast to get your system revved and keep you full. You can grab one for a bit of energy on a midday slump. Or you can use this smoothie as your post-workout meal to give your body some necessary fuel. Regardless of when you make one, this shake is tasty, sweet, and perfectly healthy for you!

Which Protein Powder To Use

Since making the swap to a vegan protein powder I now have a few brands I love. Orgain Protein Powder is one of them.

Orgain protein powder is allergy-friendly (no soy, gluten-free, kosher, etc), has no added sugar and no artificial sweeteners, and actually won Preventions Cleanest Packaged Food Award!

It has 21 grams of vegan protein per scoop and it’s a clean enough brand that I feel comfortable giving it to my girls. If you want to give it a try, check it out and use code mamabear30 for 10% off your first-ever order.
