High Protein Orange Mango Smoothie

Drescription

This high-protein orange-mango smoothie is a bright and refreshing drink that combines the tangy sweetness of fresh orange juice with the tropical richness of mangoes. A scoop of protein powder and Greek-style yogurt make this smoothie a satisfying breakfast. Using unflavored protein powder allows the natural fruit flavors to shine.

Ingredients

1 cup orange juice, plus orange twists for garnish (from 2 medium oranges)
1 cup frozen mango chunks
1 cup unsweetened soy milk
½ cup nonfat plain strained (greek-style) yogurt
¼ cup plain, unsweetened, plant-based protein powder
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup

Directions

Combine 1 cup orange juice, 1 cup frozen mango, 1 cup soy milk, ½ cup yogurt, ¼ cup protein powder and 1 tablespoon maple syrup in a blender; blend until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Divide between 2 glasses. Garnish with orange twists, if desired.

Desserts

Chia Seed Protein Bites

I keep these little bites on hand in my refrigerator and grab them for breakfast or a snack when I'm in a hurry. We have a lot of food allergies in our family and I like to keep healthy snacks around that everyone can eat. This recipe has no gluten, eggs, dairy or corn, so it's the perfect go-to treat in our house.

Vegetarian

Curried Butter Beans

Tnder butter beans combine with red curry paste and aromatic spices in this hearty plant-based dish. We use butter beans here, but any white bean, like cannellini or navy, would work. Enjoy it on its own or serve it over brown rice or whole-grain noodles for a more filling meal.

Pork

Southern Pork Tenderloin

I love this recipe because it's very easy and very much an under-20-minute recipe when you are in a hurry! I serve it with garlic mashed potatoes and a side of either mixed veggies or some sweet corn on the cob! I top it with my Mustard Pork Garnish recipe I have on site.

Chicken

Chicken Fajita Salad

Try this chicken fajita salad to mix up your dinner routine, with slightly charred and blackened chicken, crispy romaine and plenty of veggies. Topped off with the crunch of the tortilla chips, this salad is a true dinner winner. To cut down on the number of ingredients, you can use fajita seasoning to season the chicken, but keep in mind that may increase the amount of sodium in the dish.
