May 1. I think. One moment it’s sunny and dry. The next it’s raining and cold. Hard to know what to wear when you head outside. It’s also hard to know what to eat, if you follow treating to eat with the seasonal cues. The last recipe I shared was a warming soup. Today wasn’t warm out, but after the rain cleared for a bit and the sun came out, I felt like having something cool and refreshing. Thus, my smoothie bowl recipe.
Smoothie bowl recipes are all over the internet. But I find some of them too complicated, too many ingredients and things I need to slice. Now, I normally recommend local, seasonally available foods. But, that’s what to emphasize, not hard core. Every now and then you might want something tropical. Like mango.
Mango is rich in antioxidants, fibre, vitamin C, carotenes, vitamin A, potassium, and more.
What I love about smoothies and smoothie bowls is that you really don’t need a recipe (even though I’m going to give you one). Modify it to contain what you want. Smoothie bowls are basically super thick smoothies.
Mango Smoothie Bowl Recipe
This is a super easy recipe, but you can complicate it, if you like by adding more to the smoothie bowl or as toppings :).
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen mango (you can either cut and freeze it or buy it frozen)
- 1/4 cup of your choice of a thick yoghurt (e.g., Greek)
Note that if you choose a thinner yoghurt like coconut, oat, soy, or low-fat milk yoghurt, your smoothie will just be thinner. You could try adding in chia seeds and letting it sit for a bit to allow it to thicken.
Instructions
- Blend with a powerful blender until it’s smooth.
- Top with ingredients like chia seeds, hemp seeds, your choice of chopped nuts or seeds, granola, other fruit, cacao nibs, and/or coconut flakes.
