Tropical Mango Smoothie Bowl
This is the breakfast for when it feels too hot to cook — a thick, spoonable mango-banana smoothie base topped with crunchy granola, toasted coconut, chia seeds, and fresh fruit arranged in neat rows.
It comes together in the time it takes to make coffee, and it’s just as good for an afternoon pick-me-up as it is for breakfast.
Tropical Mango Smoothie Bowl
A thick, creamy mango-banana smoothie base topped with crunchy granola, toasted coconut, chia seeds, and fresh fruit. A bright, refreshing breakfast that’s ready in 10 minutes.
Ingredients
Method
- Add the frozen mango, frozen banana, coconut milk, and maple syrup (if using) to a high-speed blender.
- Blend until thick and smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. Add a splash more coconut milk only if necessary to get it moving — the mixture should stay thick and spoonable, not runny.
- Pour into a bowl.
- Arrange the granola, coconut flakes, chia seeds, banana slices, and diced mango in rows or sections over the top.
- Serve immediately with a spoon.
Notes
The key to a spoonable (not soupy) smoothie bowl is using frozen fruit and going light on the liquid — add just enough to get the blender moving. A high-speed blender helps, but stopping to scrape down the sides works fine with a standard one too.
