What You're Practicing

• Coconut milk makes this rich without dairy.
• The lime juice brightens everything — don't skip it.

Supplement add-ons (nutritional impact per serving):

• Whey protein (1 scoop vanilla, 30g): +120 cal, +25g protein. Mango's intense sweetness masks any protein powder chalkiness. Vanilla is the best flavor match — avoid chocolate with tropical fruit.
• Collagen peptides (15g): +54 cal, +13g protein. Mango provides 60mg vitamin C per cup (67% DV), which is required for collagen synthesis. This makes mango smoothies one of the best vehicles for collagen supplementation.
• Creatine monohydrate (5g): +0 cal. Flavorless. The 35g+ carbs from mango create an insulin response that improves creatine uptake into muscle cells.
• Greens powder (1 scoop, ~8g): +30 cal, +5g carbs. Mango is one of the strongest flavor masks for earthy greens powder — the sweetness and acidity overpower the grassy taste. The smoothie will turn olive-green but taste tropical.
