Ingredients
1 ripe mango (Sindhri or Chaunsa), about 200g pulp
1 scoop (30g) vanilla whey protein powder
1 cup (250ml) milk (dairy or plant-based)
1 tablespoon peanut butter or almond butter
1/2 frozen banana
3-4 ice cubes
1 tablespoon oats (optional — for thickness)
Instructions
Prep Ingredients
Peel and chop the mango. If using fresh banana, freeze it for at least 2 hours beforehand for a thicker shake.
Blend
Add all ingredients to a blender. Blend on high for 45-60 seconds until completely smooth. The protein powder and nut butter should be fully incorporated.
Adjust
Check consistency — add more milk if too thick, more ice if too thin. Taste and adjust sweetness (Sindhri usually needs nothing extra).
Serve
Pour into a large glass or shaker bottle. Drink within 15 minutes for best taste and nutrition. Consume within 30 minutes post-workout for optimal protein absorption.
Tips
Post-Workout Timing
Drink within 30 minutes after exercise for optimal muscle recovery. The mango provides fast-acting carbohydrates for glycogen replenishment while the protein supports muscle repair.
Meal Replacement
At 350 calories with 28g protein, this shake works as a meal replacement for breakfast or lunch. Add oats for additional fiber and sustained energy.
FAQ
Is mango good for post-workout?
Yes — mango provides fast-acting natural sugars (glucose, fructose, sucrose) that replenish muscle glycogen after exercise. Combined with protein powder, it creates an ideal recovery drink. The Vitamin C in mango also helps reduce exercise-induced oxidative stress.
Can I make this shake vegan?
Yes — use plant-based protein powder (pea, soy, or rice protein), plant milk (oat, almond, soy), and almond or cashew butter instead of peanut butter. The mango flavor still shines through.
