Mango Lassi Whey Protein Smoothie



Adapted from Mango Lassi Protein Smoothie Recipe

Ingredients
3/4 c. frozen mango chunks
3/4 c. plain 2% Greek yogurt
1/4 c. skim milk
2 T. orange juice concentrate
1/4 t. orange extract
2 t. vanilla extract
Pinch of cardamom
Pinch of cinnamon
1-2 scoops whey protein powder, enough to add 20g protein

Blend and enjoy!

DIY Smoothie Pack Directions
Blend everything except the mango, water, and protein powder and freeze silicon 1 oz. ice cube trays. 6 cubes + frozen fruit + protein powder in a zipper bag.  Freeze.  Empty the bag into a blender.  Add 1/2 c. liquid and you have frozen yogurt / soft serve you have to eat with a spoon!  Let the smoothie pack contents thaw before blending if you have an older blender, or want a less thick smoothie.  Adding the protein powder thickens and "bulks" the smoothie and I haven't measured how it changes the volume in my DIY smoothie cubes.
