Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 1 cup frozen mango

• 1 medium frozen ripe banana

• 1/2 cup spinach or kale

• 1/2 cup coconut milk

• 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt

• 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax seeds

• Garnishes: mango cubes, shredded coconut, chia seeds, almonds, or other favorites

Directions

1. I add all the ingredients to my blender.

2. I blend until smooth and creamy.

3. I pour the smoothie into a shallow bowl and top with my favorite garnishes. (If I’m in a hurry, I just pour it into a glass and sip it!)

4. I enjoy it immediately while it’s cold and fresh.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 2 servings. It takes about 10 minutes total (prep + blending), which makes it perfect for a quick breakfast or snack.

Variations

I like to switch things up depending on what I have on hand:

• I swap kale for spinach when I want a deeper green flavor.

• I use almond milk or oat milk instead of coconut milk for a lighter taste.

• I add protein powder when I want it to be extra filling.

• I mix in pineapple for an even more tropical flavor.

Storage/Reheating

Smoothie bowls are best enjoyed fresh, but I can store leftovers in the fridge for up to 24 hours in a covered jar or container. Before drinking, I give it a good stir or a quick shake because it may thicken as it sits. Freezing isn’t ideal since it changes the texture, but I sometimes freeze extra fruit portions to make blending easier next time.

FAQs

Can I make this smoothie bowl dairy-free?

Yes, I just leave out the Greek yogurt or replace it with a dairy-free version like coconut yogurt.

Can I use fresh mango instead of frozen?

Yes, but I like frozen mango better because it makes the smoothie bowl thicker and colder without needing ice.

What toppings go best with this smoothie bowl?

I usually go for shredded coconut, almonds, chia seeds, and extra mango chunks. Granola and fresh berries are also great.

Can I make this ahead of time?

I prefer making it fresh, but I can prep the fruit and greens in freezer bags ahead of time. Then I just toss them in the blender with milk and yogurt when I’m ready.

Is this smoothie bowl kid-friendly?

Yes, my kids love it. They don’t even notice the spinach when it’s blended with sweet mango and banana.

Conclusion

This mango coconut smoothie bowl is one of my favorite ways to start the day. It’s quick, vibrant, filling, and packed with nutrients. Whether I top it with coconut and almonds or keep it simple, it always feels like a healthy indulgence that keeps me energized and satisfied.
