- 1 ½ cups frozen mango chunks approx. 247.5g
- 1 ½ cups frozen strawberries approx. 240g
- 1 ½ medium ripe bananas broken into chunks (approx. 177g)
- ¾ cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt approx. 170g

Combine Ingredients: Place the frozen mango, frozen strawberries, banana chunks, plain non-fat Greek yogurt, low-fat milk, chia seeds, and fresh lemon juice into the pitcher of your blender.
Blend Until Smooth: Secure the blender lid tightly. Begin blending on a low speed, then gradually increase to high. Continue to process for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is completely smooth, creamy, and achieves a uniform, velvety consistency.
Adjust and Serve: If needed, pause the blender, carefully remove the lid, and use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the pitcher. This ensures all ingredients are fully incorporated. Blend for a few more seconds if required.
Enjoy: Pour the Golden Glow Greek Yogurt Protein Smoothie into a large glass or divide as preferred. For the optimal taste and texture, serve immediately.
Storage (Optional): Any leftover smoothie can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Please note that the consistency may change slightly upon storage; a brief re-blend can help restore its texture.
