Total Time: 5 mins
Cuisine: Fusion
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1 banana
- 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (optional)
- Toppings: granola, fresh fruit, nuts, seeds
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by washing and peeling the ripe mango. Cut the mango into small, even-sized cubes, removing the large central pit.
- Peel the banana and break it into smaller chunks to help with blending. If the banana is very ripe, it will add natural sweetness to the smoothie bowl.
- Place the diced mango and banana chunks into a high-powered blender. Pour in the almond milk, ensuring you use cold milk for a refreshing texture.
- If using Greek yogurt, add it to the blender for extra protein and creaminess. The yogurt will also help create a thicker, more substantial smoothie bowl consistency.
- Blend the ingredients on high speed for 30-45 seconds until smooth and creamy, with no visible fruit chunks. Stop and scrape down the sides if necessary to ensure complete blending.
- Pour the smoothie mixture into two serving bowls, tilting the blender to ensure you get all the mixture out.
- Prepare your toppings by chopping fresh fruits, measuring out granola, and selecting your preferred nuts and seeds.
- Artfully arrange the toppings on the smoothie surface. Suggested arrangement: sprinkle granola in one section, add sliced fresh fruits, and garnish with a scattering of nuts and seeds.
- For best flavor and nutrition, serve immediately while the smoothie is cold and toppings are fresh and crisp.
- Optional: Drizzle with a small amount of honey or maple syrup if you desire additional sweetness.
Tips
- Choose the Right Mango: Make sure to select a ripe mango that gives slightly to the touch for the best flavor. A perfectly ripe mango will enhance the sweetness of your smoothie bowl.
- Banana Magic: For a sweeter smoothie, use a very ripe banana. The natural sugars in the banana will add a lovely sweetness without the need for additional sweeteners.
- Chill Your Ingredients: For a refreshing smoothie bowl, use cold almond milk and chill your fruits beforehand. This will give your smoothie a delightful, frosty texture.
- Blend for Perfection: Blend your ingredients on high speed until completely smooth. If your blender struggles, stop and scrape down the sides to ensure everything is well mixed.
- Customize Your Toppings: Get creative with your toppings! Besides granola and fresh fruits, consider adding chia seeds, shredded coconut, or even a dollop of nut butter for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Serve Immediately: For the best taste and texture, serve your smoothie bowl right after preparing it. This way, the toppings remain fresh and crunchy!
- Sweeten to Taste: If you prefer a sweeter bowl, drizzle a little honey or maple syrup over the top before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
