Ingredients For This Mango Smoothie Bowl
Almond Milk: We need a little bit of liquid to get this smoothie bowl blended. We prefer almond milk, however you can use whichever non-dairy milk you prefer. You could even use coconut water.
Frozen Banana Slices: Bananas help this smoothie bowl blend and be creamy. If you don’t like bananas in your smoothies, you could potentially sub in more mango in place of the banana.
Frozen Mango Chunks: Mangoes give this smoothie its tropical flavoring (along with the pineapple), and also helps with the creamy aspect of it. This is the main ingredient and shouldn’t be subbed out, unless you want a completely different smoothie bowl.
Frozen Pineapple Chunks: Pineapple gives this smoothie its tropical flavoring (along with the mango).
Toppings: Use whichever toppings you prefer! We like to add a sliced banana, blueberries, coconut shreds, chia seeds, and some homemade granola on top of our smoothie bowls.

How to Serve This Smoothie Bowl
Serve cold, preferably eat it outside with the sun shining down on you so you can fully enjoy every bite.
Or, if you don’t live where it’s sunny and warm most of the year, enjoy indoors.
How to Store Smoothie Bowls
Unfortunately smoothie bowls do not store well and should be enjoyed ASAP.
If you need to store it, you can store it in the freezer, and then eat it like ice cream. If you plan on thawing it slightly after it’s been stored in the freezer, make sure there are no banana slices left as toppings. Bananas do not thaw well once frozen, and also do not save well.
Smoothie Bowl FAQ’s
- My blender won’t blend with all of the ingredients in it, what do I do?
- Check if your high speed blender came with a tamper and use that. If it didn’t, stop and unplug your blender (for safety), add more liquid and stir it to get it to the bottom. Plug in and start blending again.
- Will this work in a non-high speed blender?
- No, you need something strong to blend all of the frozen fruit with a small amount of liquid to get the right consistency for a smoothie bowl. If you don’t have a high speed blender, you could use a food processor instead.
- Can I use this recipe for a smoothie instead of a smoothie bowl?
- Of course, you just need to add more milk depending on how thick or thin you like your smoothies and use fresh bananas instead of frozen.
- Are smoothie bowls actually healthy?
- It depends on what you put in and on them. This smoothie bowl recipe is quite healthy, the only indulgent ingredient might be the granola, depending on if it’s store bought and what’s in it or if you make your own at home.
- What makes smoothie bowls thick?
- All of the frozen fruit with a small amount of liquid helps make a smoothie bowl thick.
