Ingredients
Smoothie Base
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped (fresh or frozen)
- ½ frozen banana
- ½ cup Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
- ¼ to ½ cup milk or juice of choice
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
Toppings (optional)
- Sliced fresh fruit (mango, banana, kiwi)
- Granola
- Shredded coconut
- Chia seeds or flaxseeds
- Drizzle of honey or nut butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: Add the chopped mango, frozen banana, Greek yogurt, and ¼ cup of your chosen milk or juice into a blender.
- Blend the Ingredients: Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, gradually add more milk or juice until the desired consistency is reached.
- Add Sweetener: Taste the smoothie base and add honey or maple syrup if you prefer extra sweetness, then briefly blend again to mix.
- Pour into Bowl: Transfer the smoothie to a large bowl or two smaller bowls depending on your serving preference.
- Add Toppings: Decorate the top with your choice of sliced fresh fruit, granola, shredded coconut, chia seeds or flaxseeds, and a drizzle of honey or nut butter.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy your mango smoothie bowl fresh for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can use frozen mango and banana to achieve an extra thick and cold texture without needing ice.
- For a dairy-free or vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and use plant-based milk.
- Adjust the amount of liquid to get your preferred thickness of smoothie bowl—thicker bases are better for holding toppings.
- Add protein powder or nut butter to boost the protein content if desired.
- Use seasonal fruits for varied toppings based on availability and preference.
