Mango Smoothie Bowl

The Golden Mango Smoothie Bowl

Ingredients

The Base:

• 2 cups Frozen mango chunks (frozen is key for that thick, soft-serve texture)

• 1 Frozen banana (adds natural sweetness and creaminess)

• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or coconut cream

• 1/4 cup Unsweetened almond or coconut milk (add more only if needed)

• 1 tsp Freshly squeezed lime juice (to brighten the flavor)

The Toppings (As seen in the image):

• Fresh mango cubes

• Chia seeds

• Pumpkin seeds (pepitas)

• Sliced almonds

• Shredded coconut

• Fresh mint leaves

Instructions

1. Prep the Base: Place the frozen mango, frozen banana, yogurt, and lime juice into a high-speed blender.

2. Blend: Start on a low speed, using a tamper to push the frozen fruit down toward the blades. Add the milk one tablespoon at a time only if the blender stalls. You want the consistency to be thick and scoopable, not liquid like a drink.

3. The Swirl: Pour the mixture into a chilled bowl. Use the back of a spoon to create a circular “swirl” pattern on the surface.

4. Style It: Arrange your toppings in neat, diagonal rows to mimic the photo:

   • Start with a line of shredded coconut.

   • Follow with a row of pumpkin seeds.

   • Place a bold center line of fresh mango cubes.

   • Add a row of sliced almonds and a dense line of chia seeds.

5. Final Touch: Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and serve immediately while cold.

Pro Tip: For an extra protein boost, blend in a scoop of vanilla protein powder or a tablespoon of hemp seeds!
