    Spiced Coconut Mango Smoothie

    A smoothie for breakfast is my normal routine most days because they fuel me, fill me and taste great. My body is happy and I feel great. While I drink raspberry smoothies almost every day (I am a raspberry freak), I'm on a new smoothie creation kick so here is my new coconut mango smoothie.

    Mango Smoothie Milks

    My milk of choice is usually homemade almond milk but lately I've been adding a little coconut milk. Not the boxed or refrigerated stuff with carrageenan (an unhealthy food additive), but organic, canned coconut milk. Canned organic coconut milk waits ready in the pantry until needed.

    Choose a brand with a BPA-free can, like Native Forest or Natural Value. Although their can does not state BPA-free, I called the company and it is. When in doubt, call the brand's customer service. Not a fan of coconut milk? Make this with all almond milk.

    How to Choose a Protein Powder

    With an overwhelming amount of options on the market, choosing a protein powder is not easy. You can read this post on how to choose one or here are a few tips:

    • Choose one with an understandable ingredient list. The shorter, the better.
    • If sweetened, look for whole leaf stevia or monk fruit, which is natural and safer versus sugar or hidden forms of sugar.
    • Be aware of sodium levels. Lower is better. Compare brands.
    • No artificial flavors, fillers, colors, no artificial anything is best.
    • Be aware of what one serving provides in terms of grams of protein.
    • Don’t choose only on price.
    • Look for a single serving, travel or trial size before investing in a tub, as protein powders are pricey.

    Experiment for yourselves and discover what works best for your body. It is all about bio-individuality and every body is different.

    Transport yourself to the islands for breakfast with this tropical smoothie. Whip one up in seconds for an easy start to your day. Frozen mango makes a frostier, colder smoothie. If using fresh mango, add a few ice cubes if desired. To make a thinner smoothie use more water and less coconut milk.
