This Mango Smoothie Bowl is a cool, fruity treat with bright mango flavors and a thick, creamy texture. It’s topped with crunchy granola and fresh fruit for added crunch and sweetness.
I like adding a handful of coconut flakes or nuts on top. Sometimes I even swirl in a bit of honey—makes it extra special!
To save time, I blend the mango with a little banana and milk, then chill it before adding toppings. Perfect for a quick, healthy breakfast or snack.
Ingredients & Substitutions
Mango: This is the star flavor and gives the smoothie its creamy texture. Use frozen mango for convenience and chilliness. Fresh works too, just add extra ice. Notes: ripe mango is sweetest! Substitute with peaches or pineapple if needed.
Greek Yogurt: Adds creaminess and protein. Use plain, full-fat Greek yogurt for richness. For a lighter option, choose non-fat versions. Coconut yogurt is a tasty dairy-free alternative that adds tropical flavor.
Banana: Boosts creaminess and sweetness naturally. Use ripe bananas for best flavor. If unavailable, applesauce can add moisture but won’t give the same texture. Frozen banana makes the bowl colder and thicker.
Honey or Agave Syrup: Sweetens the bowl softly. Use about a teaspoon or more to taste. If you prefer less sugar, maple syrup or a splash of orange juice work well for natural sweetness.
Optional Toppings: Think granola, fresh fruit, coconut shreds, or chia seeds. They add crunch and texture. Customize based on your favorites. Just keep toppings light so the smoothie remains smooth and creamy.
How do I blend smoothly without leaving lumps?
Start on low speed to break down ingredients, then gradually increase to high. Use a tamper if your blender has one, pushing ingredients towards the blades. Add a splash of liquid if needed, but don’t flood the blender. Blend until very smooth.
- First, blend at low to break up ingredients.
- Gradually increase speed for a smoother texture.
- If mixture is thick, add a teaspoon of water or milk to help blending.
