Ingredients
Scale
For the Smoothie Base:
- 1 1/2 cups frozen mango chunks
- 1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 banana, previously sliced and frozen
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 1/2 – 3/4 cup unsweetened almond or coconut milk (or other milk), divided
Topping Ideas:
- Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- Sliced fresh banana
- Sliced kiwi
- Fresh mango chunks
- Chia seeds
- Granola (use gluten-free/vegan as needed)
- Shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- Toasted almonds or other nuts
- Nut butter drizzle
- Honey or maple syrup drizzle
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: To a high-powered blender, add the frozen mango chunks, frozen pineapple chunks, frozen banana slices, freshly grated ginger, and 1/2 cup of the almond or coconut milk.
- Blend: Secure the lid and blend on high speed until super thick and creamy. Use the blender’s tamper tool if needed, or stop occasionally to scrape down the sides and push the ingredients toward the blades.
- Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie bowl is too thick to blend smoothly, add the remaining 1/4 cup of almond/coconut milk (or more, 1 tablespoon at a time) until it reaches your desired thick, soft-serve consistency. Avoid adding too much liquid, as it should be thick enough to eat with a spoon.
- Serve: Pour the thick smoothie mixture into a bowl.
- Add Toppings: Decorate with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, granola, seeds, and shredded coconut. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
- Frozen Fruit: Using frozen mango, pineapple, and banana is essential for achieving the thick, creamy texture of a smoothie bowl without needing excessive ice.
- Milk: Start with the smaller amount of milk and add more only as needed to help blending while maintaining a thick consistency. Any milk (dairy or non-dairy) will work.
- Ginger: Freshly grated ginger adds a nice zing. Adjust amount to taste or omit if preferred.
- Blender: A high-speed blender is recommended for smoothly blending frozen fruit into a thick consistency.
- Storage: Smoothie bowls are best enjoyed immediately as they will melt.
