- Cook Time: 0 minutes
- Total Time: 10 minutes
- Yield: 2 1x
- Method: Blending
- Cuisine: Tropical
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen mango chunks
- 1 large frozen banana, sliced
- 1/2 cup coconut milk (canned or carton)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons shredded coconut, toasted
- 1/4 cup granola
- 1/2 kiwi, sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh pineapple chunks
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- Add the frozen mango, frozen banana, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and salt to a high-powered blender.
- Blend on high, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, until the mixture is thick and completely smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- If the smoothie is too thick to blend, add coconut milk 1 tablespoon at a time until it moves easily but still holds its shape on a spoon.
- Pour the smoothie into a chilled bowl and smooth the top with the back of a spoon.
- Arrange the toasted coconut, granola, kiwi slices, and pineapple chunks in rows or sections over the top.
- Sprinkle with chia seeds and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
- Serve immediately with a spoon while cold and thick.
Notes
Freeze your banana and mango ahead of time for the thickest, creamiest texture. If you don’t own a high-powered blender, let the frozen fruit sit for 5 minutes before blending to make it easier on the motor. Swap toppings with any tropical fruit you have on hand, like papaya or passion fruit.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make my tropical mango smoothie bowl thick enough to eat with a spoon?
Use fully frozen mango and banana, and keep added liquid to a minimum. Add coconut milk just a tablespoon at a time, and use a tamper or scrape down the sides often so the blender doesn't need extra liquid to move the fruit.
Can I make this tropical mango smoothie bowl ahead of time?
It's best blended and eaten fresh since it melts quickly, but you can freeze portions of the blended base in an airtight container for up to a month and let it soften for 10 minutes before topping and serving.
What can I use instead of coconut milk?
Any milk works, including almond milk, oat milk, or regular dairy milk. Coconut milk simply adds extra tropical flavor and creaminess to this mango smoothie bowl.
Is this recipe vegan?
Yes, just swap the Greek yogurt for a dairy-free yogurt alternative and use maple syrup instead of honey to keep it fully plant-based.
