Ingredients

  • 1 scoop FITAVID Vanilla Whey Protein
  • 1 cup frozen mango chunks
  • ½ cup frozen pineapple chunks
  • ½ banana (fresh or frozen)
  • ½ cup coconut milk (from carton, not canned)
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt
  • ½ cup ice cubes
  • Toppings: fresh mango, pineapple, coconut flakes, granola, chia seeds, passion fruit

Swap Options

  • Dairy-free: Use coconut yogurt and coconut milk throughout
  • More tropical: Add ¼ cup frozen papaya or dragon fruit
  • Extra protein: Add 2 tbsp hemp seeds to the blend
  • Lower sugar: Use ½ cup mango instead of 1 cup, add ¼ avocado for creaminess

Instructions

  1. 1

    Add coconut milk and Greek yogurt to blender first

  2. 2

    Add vanilla whey protein powder

  3. 3

    Add frozen mango, pineapple, banana, and ice cubes

  4. 4

    Blend on high for 45-60 seconds until thick and smooth—use tamper to push down if needed

  5. 5

    Check thickness—should be spoonable, like soft-serve. Add ice if too thin, liquid if too thick

  6. 6

    Pour into bowl and arrange toppings artfully (yes, it should look Instagram-worthy!)

  7. 7

    Eat immediately with a spoon and enjoy the tropical vibes

Pro Tips

  • Use FROZEN fruit for thick, ice cream-like texture—fresh fruit makes it too thin
  • Coconut milk adds tropical flavor but any milk works
  • Top with toasted coconut flakes for extra crunch and flavor
  • Perfect summer breakfast or post-workout meal

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh fruit instead of frozen?

Fresh fruit works, but frozen creates a thicker, ice cream-like texture. Add 5-6 ice cubes if using fresh.

How do I make the bowl thicker?

Use less liquid (start with ½ cup) and add more as needed. The goal is a thick, spoonable consistency.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Yes! Use coconut milk and plant-based protein powder. The coconut adds extra tropical flavor.

What if I don't have all the tropical fruits?

No problem! Use any combo of pineapple, mango, peach, or even mixed berries. Banana is key for creaminess.
