How about an easy and delicious mango smoothie bowl for an awesome dessert or maybe a delicious breakfast? You’ll be pleasantly reminded of your favorite tropical island. There are only a few ingredients in this smoothie bowl. Add your favorite smoothie toppings such as chopped nuts, sliced fruit, dried coconut, berries, chia seeds, and more!
Not only is this smoothie delicious, but mangoes will supply you with plenty of vitamin A, fiber, folic acid, and vitamin C.
When I see the mangoes on sale at the grocery store, I load up because they are easy to cut up and freeze.
I make my smoothie bowl vegan by using dairy-free milk, my preferred is refrigerated coconut milk, but you could use any milk you prefer.
This smoothie bowl is naturally gluten-free.
How to make a mango smoothie:
Step 1: Gather and measure the ingredients. You’ll need frozen mango chunks, frozen pineapple chunks, frozen banana pieces, and milk.
By using frozen fruit, you’ll get a thick creamy consistency. You’ll love this thick mango smoothie!
Step 2: Add all the ingredients to a blender. I’m loving my new high-speed blender. Blend for a minute or so until you get the desired consistency, smooth and somewhat thick.
Step 3: Pour into a bowl, add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
Smoothie bowl toppings:
This is where you can get creative and use your favorite toppings! This list is a good starting point. My favorite toppings are sliced fruit and shredded coconut.
- Sliced fruit – bananas, kiwi’s, strawberries,
- Shredded coconut
- Chia Seeds
- Berries – blackberries, blueberries, raspberries
- Chopped nuts
- Granola
- Coconut flakes
- Pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
Smoothie tips:
- Use a high-speed blender if possible (works great with frozen fruit).
- You can buy bags of frozen fruit or cut up and freeze the fruit yourself.
- If the mango smoothie is too thick, add a bit more liquid (milk or water).
- You can substitute the milk with water.
- This recipe can be doubled to make two smoothie bowls.
- You’ll want this smoothie a bit thicker than a regular smoothie you drink as you’ll be eating with a spoon. And the toppings won’t sink!
