Looking for a smoothie that tastes like summer in a glass? This Sunset Smoothie combines sweet peaches, tropical mango, carrot juice, and vanilla protein powder to create a creamy orange drink that’s perfect for breakfast, an afternoon snack, or after a workout.
Peaches, mango, and carrot juice provide nutrients including vitamins A and C, while protein powder makes the smoothie more satisfying.
🌅 Sunset Smoothie Ingredients
For one large serving, you’ll need:
- 1 ripe peach, pitted and chopped
- 1 cup mango chunks, fresh or frozen
- 1 cup carrot juice
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- ½ cup ice cubes
Optional: Add a splash of water or unsweetened milk if you prefer a thinner smoothie.
🥤 How to Make It
Step 1: Prepare the Fruit
Wash the peach, remove the pit, and cut it into chunks. Prepare your mango or use frozen mango straight from the freezer.
Step 2: Add Everything to the Blender
Add the ingredients in this order:
Carrot juice → peach → mango → vanilla protein powder → ice.
Adding the liquid first helps the blender process the fruit more easily.
Step 3: Blend Until Creamy
Blend on high for approximately 30–60 seconds, or until completely smooth and creamy.
If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more carrot juice or water. If you want it thicker and colder, add extra frozen mango or a few more ice cubes.
Step 4: Serve
Pour into a tall glass and enjoy immediately. Garnish with a thin peach or mango slice for a beautiful sunset-orange finish. 🌅
✨ Why You’ll Love This Smoothie
Peaches provide vitamin C and other plant compounds while adding natural sweetness.
Mango is naturally rich in vitamin C and contains beta-carotene, which the body can convert into vitamin A.
Carrot juice is particularly rich in beta-carotene. Vitamin A contributes to normal vision and helps maintain normal skin.
Vanilla protein powder adds protein, making this fruity smoothie more filling than fruit and juice alone.
💡 Easy Variations
Want to change it up? Try adding ½ banana for extra creaminess, a small piece of fresh ginger for a spicy kick, or Greek yogurt for additional protein and a thicker texture.
For an extra-cold smoothie without watering it down, use frozen peaches and mango instead of extra ice.
🧡 Final Thoughts
The Sunset Smoothie is colorful, naturally sweet, creamy, and incredibly easy to prepare. With peach, mango, carrot juice, and vanilla protein, it’s an easy way to add fruit, beta-carotene, vitamin C, and protein to your day.
