You can easily make this mango smoothie bowl vegan by using dairy alternatives like almond milk, and you can boost your protein and fat content by adding nuts, seeds, and a few coconut flakes, all for a balanced and beautiful breakfast.

Mango Smoothie Bowl Recipe

Total Time: 10 minutes

Serves: 2

Ingredients:

• 1 banana, frozen
• ½ cup of yogurt
• ½ cup of low-fat milk (or milk alternative)
• ½ cup of pineapple chunks, frozen
• 1 mango, frozen
• Optional toppings: hemp seeds, almond slivers, mango chunks, banana slices, coconut flakes, dragon fruit bites, or berries are all great ideas!

Instructions:

Put all ingredients other than the toppings into the blender. Blend until smooth. Using all frozen fruit will make a creamier, thicker smoothie bowl, but if you only have fresh fruit, add a few ice cubes and blend.
