Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • Frozen mango chunks (about 2 cups)
  • Canned coconut milk (full-fat for creaminess, or light for fewer calories)
  • Banana (1 small, preferably frozen, for sweetness and body)
  • Pineapple (optional, 1/2 cup frozen, for extra tang)
  • Lime (1, for juice and zest)
  • Vanilla extract (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Honey or maple syrup (1–2 teaspoons, optional, to taste)
  • Sea salt (a pinch, to enhance flavor)
  • Ice (a few cubes if needed to thicken)
  • Fresh mango slices or cubes
  • Toasted coconut flakes
  • Granola
  • Chia seeds or hemp hearts
  • Fresh berries or kiwi
  • Pepitas, slivered almonds, or cashews
  • Cacao nibs
  • A drizzle of nut butter

Instructions
 

  • Chill your bowl. Pop your serving bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes. A cold bowl helps keep the smoothie thick and frosty.
  • Add the base to a blender. Combine frozen mango, banana, coconut milk (start with 1/2 cup), vanilla, a squeeze of lime juice, a bit of lime zest, and a pinch of salt.
  • Blend low and slow. Start on low, use a tamper if you have one, and gradually increase speed. Keep the mixture thick. If needed, add small splashes of coconut milk until the blades catch.
  • Adjust to taste. Blend in honey or maple syrup if your fruit isn’t sweet enough. Add a few ice cubes for extra thickness or more mango if it’s too thin.
  • Check the texture. Aim for soft-serve consistency. It should mound on a spoon, not pour like a drink.
  • Assemble. Scoop into the chilled bowl. Smooth the top with the back of a spoon to make room for toppings.
  • Top it. Add fresh mango, granola, toasted coconut, seeds, and anything crunchy you like. Finish with a little more lime zest for fragrance.
  • Serve right away. Smoothie bowls melt quickly, so enjoy promptly while it’s cold and thick.
