Tropical Mango Smoothie Bowl with Protein (Thick, Bright & Filling) - A Sunny Breakfast You Can Eat With a Spoon
Ingredients
- Frozen mango chunks (1 to 1 1/2 cups)
- Frozen pineapple (1/2 cup)
- Banana (1 small, frozen if possible, for creaminess)
- Unsweetened coconut milk or almond milk (1/3 to 1/2 cup, start low)
- Greek yogurt (1/4 to 1/2 cup; dairy-free yogurt works too)
- Vanilla or unflavored protein powder (1 scoop; whey or plant-based)
- Lime juice (1 to 2 teaspoons) and a little lime zest (optional)
- Chia seeds or ground flax (1 tablespoon, optional for fiber)
- Toppings: fresh mango, kiwi, banana slices, toasted coconut flakes, granola, hemp seeds, sliced almonds, or a drizzle of honey if you like it sweeter
Instructions
- Add the frozen mango, pineapple, banana, yogurt, protein powder, lime juice, and chia or flax to a high-powered blender.
- Pour in 1/3 cup milk to start. You want as little liquid as possible for a thick bowl.
- Blend on low, then increase speed, using a tamper to push the fruit toward the blades. If it struggles, add 1 to 2 tablespoons more milk at a time.
- Blend until smooth and soft-serve thick. It should mound on a spoon and not run.
- Taste and adjust: add more lime for brightness or a tiny drizzle of honey if needed.
- Spoon into a bowl and add your favorite toppings. Think crunchy granola, juicy fruit, and a sprinkle of seeds.
