Ingredients

Fruits – Mango is the star ingredient of this smoothie bowl. Freeze them overnight for a denser and creamier version of the smoothie bowl. Along with mangoes, I have also added bananas, as it makes this smoothie creamier and delicious.
If mangoes are not in season, you can use canned mango puree too. Just make sure to freeze the puree before using.
Yogurt, Milk, and Coconut Milk– Yogurt and milk give a creamy texture to the smoothies and coconut milk gives it that tropical flavor along with creaminess.
If you are looking for a vegan version, you can substitute milk and yogurt with almond milk or coconut milk.
Sweetener – You can add honey or maple syrup if you are like it to be sweeter.
How to make Mango Smoothie Bowl?
Start by preparing the fruits. Take one large ripe mango and peel it using a sharp paring knife. Remove the flesh using a knife and discard the pit. Cut the flesh into cubes. Freeze the mango cubes for 5-6 hours.
Peel a large banana and cut it into slices. Freeze the banana for 5-6 hours.
Note – You can buy frozen fruits from your local grocery store to save time. You can also use canned mango puree. Just make sure to freeze it for a few hours.
Add 1 and ½ cup peeled, cubed, and frozen mango, ½ cup peeled, sliced and frozen banana, ¼ cup yogurt,¼ cup milk, and ¼ cup coconut milk to the medium jar of a high speed blender.
Note – Adding liquids in the blender first makes sure the blades of the blender do their job properly. This is a little trick I have learned over time.
Note – To make the smoothie vegan, use vegan yogurt and milk.
Note – You can add honey or maple syrup if you like the smoothie sweeter.

Frequently Asked Questions
I would not recommend you to freeze these smoothie bowls, as the toppings might not have the same crunch and taste when frozen.
Instead, you can freeze just the smoothie. To do this, add the smoothie to a freezer-safe glass jar and then freeze for up to 3 months.
The night before you are planning to make a bowl for breakfast, place the smoothie jar in the refrigerator to defrost overnight.
In the morning, add it to a bowl and top with your favorite toppings.
You can store the smoothie in the refrigerator in a sealed glass container for about 2-3 days.
Always add fresh toppings, when you are ready to eat the smoothie bowl.
