Prepare Ingredients:

  1. Ensure all fruits are properly frozen beforehand for the best consistency. If using fresh fruits, freeze them for at least 4 hours.
  2. Blending:

    In a blender, combine almond milk, lemon juice, frozen pineapple, frozen mango, and the banana. Blend until the fruits are partially mixed.

  3. Add Protein and Flavors:

    Add the scoop of vegan protein powder, chia seeds, and turmeric powder. If you prefer a sweeter taste, add a diabetic-friendly sweetener like Stevia. Blend again until everything is smooth and well-combined.

    Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness or lemon intensity as needed. Pour into a glass and garnish with fresh mint leaves for a refreshing touch.

  6. Serve Immediately:
