Ingredients

Smoothie

½ cup almond milk plus more to thin
2 scoops vanilla protein powder (I used Premier Protein)
1 ½ cups frozen mango chunks
¼ to ½ teaspoon chai spice to taste

Optional Add-Ins

1 scoop creatine
1 tablespoon chia seeds

Instructions

Make the Smoothie

Add 1/2 cup almond milk to your blender first so the blade doesn't get stuck.
Add 2 scoops vanilla protein powder, 1 1/2 cups frozen mango chunks, and 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon chai spice.
Toss in any add-ins, like 1 scoop creatine and 1 tablespoon chia seeds, if using.
Blend on high until thick, creamy, and smooth, about 30 to 60 seconds. If it's too thick to move, splash in more almond milk and blend again.
Taste and adjust the chai spice if you want more warmth.
Pour into a glass and drink right away while it's thick and frosty.

Frozen mango is non-negotiable for that thick, frosty texture. If you only have fresh mango, freeze it for at least 4 hours first or add a handful of ice cubes.

Chai spice blends vary in strength, so start with 1/4 teaspoon and build up to taste.

Notes

Storage: Smoothies taste best right after blending, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake or re-blend before drinking, and add a splash of almond milk since the chia seeds keep thickening it.
