You must be asking yourself if there is such a thing as a healthy milkshake right?
Well aside from the fact this DOES NOT have any ice cream in it and typically a milkshake does......it.........is pretty pretty creamy.
I couldn't just call it a smoothie because it's way thicker and I needed a spoon.....
AND.I.LOVED.EVERY.BIT.OF.IT.
I'm sure you will notice this is banana free. I do love banana, but I actually had run out of my frozen supply and didn't have any ripe enough and I just really wanted mango.
I was craving some mango so I made it without and in fact it's just perfect. If you have a banana allergy this recipe is for you!
The vanilla creme stevia really makes this fantastic. But this recipe is easy enough to taste it after you whir it up in your blender and add your own sweetener of choice.
This is high in protein and fiber making this a perfect quick breakfast choice or snack!
Additional Notes
- I used unsweetened almond milk.
- I used frozen mango and it made it super cold and creamy.
- I used Greek plain yogurt, but regular plain will work it just won't be as thick.
- You could even use flavored vanilla yogurt for more vanilla flavor!
- If you don't have stevia, it will not be sweet enough on its own. You should increase the mango to 1 cup.
- You do not HAVE to use flaxseed. I have had the shake without it and its fine, but I use it because it is good for you!

This looks delicious, I can't wait to make it. My husband and I are HUGE mango fans! Would you happen to know a substitute for the Sweetleaf Stevia, vanilla creme? I have regular Stevia packets, will that work?
Brenda
Sure that will work, start with half packet if you need more go ahead and add the rest. If you want more vanilla flavor increase your vanilla extract.

Yummy - sipping one right now for lunch. I didn't read too carefully and put in an entire cup of yogurt and 1/2 cup of milk. I skipped the crushed ice and water when I realized I added extra of those two items. Tastes like mango sherbet!

I'm a big fan of Greek yogurt. It does such a good job of making smoothies and shakes extra creamy! I make my own now. All it takes is a carton of yogurt, cheesecloth and a strainer. So easy, and much cheaper.
Brenda
That's one thing I haven't made yet, but I want to!

I am a banana lover too. I have a banana- strawberry protein shake every day. If I don't I feel so cheated. This mango sounds good.
