No hassle mango smoothie

I love smoothies any time of the day, but with a bunch of fruit added and possibly juice it's easy to get lots of sugars in a smoothie that the body doesn't actually need. This doesn't mean that I shouldn't have any smoothies (yay!), I just have to be smart about the timing of it. So I have my smoothie right after my workout when sugars are absorbed faster and can actually help with recovery and muscle building. No I'm not looking to become bulky or anything, but ladies for the majority of us it's difficult to get bulky anyway (unless you're on something).

So here's my super easy no hassle mango smoothie with only 3 ingredients since after a workout I don't feel like making a complicated smoothie.

Ingredients:
- 1 cup of frozen mango 
- 1 cup of buttermilk
- 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder

Well do I need to write directions? Just blend it all together in a blender or little 1 serving blender. Add more buttermilk if you like it thinner. I like using buttermilk because it makes it tangy, creamy, and is low in calories.
