Peel the banana and break it into a few chunks to make blending easier.
Add the banana, frozen mango chunks, and Greek yogurt into a blender.
Sprinkle in one scoop of protein powder. Choose a flavor that complements tropical fruits, like vanilla or unflavored.
Pour in 1 cup of milk or your preferred milk alternative for a dairy-free option.
Add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds for a nutritional boost.
Drop in 4 ice cubes to give the smoothie a chilled texture.
Add honey if you desire extra sweetness, though the banana and mango provide natural sugars.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. This should take about 1 minute depending on your blender's power.
Check the consistency. If it's too thick for your liking, add a little more milk or water and blend again briefly.
Pour the smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately to enjoy the freshness.
