Tropical Mango Smoothie Bowl

Are you looking for a cool and creamy, fun and creative way to change up your regular smoothie routine?

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I have a tendency to slurp down my smoothies a little too quickly, then I end up hungry an hour later. That’s what is great about smoothie bowls. Since it is thicker than a regular smoothie, you can slow yourself down by eating it with a spoon.

Plus, by putting your smoothie in a bowl, you can personalize them and make them even more delicous, not to mention gorgeous. How?

Toppings, of course. Topping your mango smoothie bowl with more fruit, granola ,or anything else you love gives it more flavor and texture. Plus it totally makes it more satisfying.

Are Smoothie Bowls Healthy?

A smoothie bowl is a perfect way to get more fruit and plant-based foods into your diet. By making it with overripe bananas and other fruit, you can make it sweet enough without the need for any added sugar. And this mango smoothie bowl recipe is gluten free and dairy free by making it with coconut milk and choosing gluten free granola to add to the top.

The toppings can be another way to add more nutrition and even some superfoods. But don’t go overboard. It is possible to turn what should be a healthy breakfast or snack into calorie overload by adding too many chocolate chips, an extra-large serving of calorie-dense granola, or just too many toppings in general.

Ingredients

Making a smoothie bowl is as simple as blending up some frozen fruit and your milk of choice. This mango smoothie bowl uses lots of tropical flavors, including coconut milk. Then you can go crazy with toppings to add more fun flavors and textures!

For the Mango Smoothie Bowl:

• Frozen banana: Gives it that creamy, ice cream-like texture.
• Frozen pineapple: You can freeze chunks of pineapple or buy a bag already frozen.,
• Frozen mango: Just like the pineapple you can freeze it yourself or buy it frozen.
• Coconutmilk: Gives it the tropical flair that makes you think you are enjoying something way more indulgent. You’ll want the kind from a carton, not a can, or you can substitute another dairy or non-dairy milk.

Smoothie Bowl Toppings

• Fruit: Fresh kiwi, strawberry, or banana slices add something sweet and juicy. You can even add dried fruit like banana chips, dried dates, or coconut flakes.
• Chocolate chips: Adds a little hint of chocolaty goodness, and you can even get dairy free ones if needed.
• Nuts, seeds, and superfoods: You can even sneak in added nutrition with sliced almonds, chopped macadamia nuts, hemp or chia seeds, cacao nibs, and more.
• Granola: Adds some hearty whole grains and a bit of crunch. This recipe includes directions for making Pineapple Coconut Tropical Granola, but you can use your favorite storebought or homemade granola. Here are some ideas.

How Do You Make a Mango Smoothie Bowl?

All you have to do is combine the frozen fruit and milk in your blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Because a smoothie bowl uses a higher frozen fruit to milk ratio so you can eat it with a spoon, it will be quite thick. So you may need to stop the blender a few times and move everything around with a spatula. You can also try making it in a food processor.

Then add your toppings. Just toss them on or take the time to place them nicely to make an Instagrammable gourmet treat!
