Mango Yogurt Smoothie

A creamy and refreshing mango smoothie topped with chia seeds. Perfect as a post-workout boost, a healthy snack, or a nutrient-packed beverage alongside meals.

Ingredients:

2 cups ripe mango chunks (fresh or frozen)

1 cup low-fat yogurt (or Greek yogurt for extra protein)

½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

1–2 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, depending on sweetness of mango)

1 tsp chia seeds (plus extra for topping)

A few slices of mango for garnish

Instructions:

1. In a blender, combine the mango chunks, yogurt, almond milk, and honey or maple syrup if using.

2. Blend until smooth and creamy.

3. Pour into glasses. Sprinkle 1 tsp chia seeds on top.

4. Garnish with mango slices. Serve immediately.

Tips and Storage:

• For a thicker, colder smoothie, blend in a few frozen mango chunks or a small ice cube.

• Stir in chia seeds right before serving for extra texture.

• Store any leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Stir before drinking as it may naturally separate.

• For a fun twist, pour the smoothie into popsicle moulds to make healthy mango yogurt popsicles.
