Ingredients

See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

To make a delicious Chocolate Mango Smoothie, you'll need the following ingredients:

• Ripe mangoes: Use fresh fruit and then peel and cut into smaller mango chunks. For an immediate cold smoothie, throw in some frozen mangoes, or use frozen mangoes as ice cubes.
• Cacao powder: It adds that rich chocolate flavor but with fewer calories. You can use unsweetened cocoa powder instead.
• Chia seeds: It makes for one creamy smoothie and adds a boost of plant-based proteins.

• Almond milk: Oat or cashew milk are other great alternatives. Although I have never tried it, coconut milk can work here too.
• Medjool dates: A few pitted dates add extra fiber and natural sweetness. You can use less or more.  
• Optional add-ons: cacao nibs, chocolate chips, and extra fresh mango slices can all be used to garnish this mango chocolate smoothie.

If you want to make this a post-workout smoothie, include a scoop of your favorite protein or collagen powder (unflavored). If it's too thick, add more milk to achieve the desired consistency.
