I had some frozen mango in the freezer that I needed to use, so I decided to make a tropical mango smoothie bowl with some pineapple too.
I made this mango smoothie bowl without bananas because you know, not everyone likes bananas, and you can still make a sweet and thick smoothie bowl without bananas.
Smoothie bowls tend to have quite a lot of calories, but I kept this recipe simple, and only used 4 ingredients, making it perfect for weight loss as well.

Optional Recipe Customizations & Smoothie Notes
If you are filling extra and want to swap an ingredient or add a couple of extra ones, here are some variations you could try that I have personally loved:
- Add Yogurt: Adding yogurt will not only add protein and calcium to the smoothie bowl but also make it extra creamy! 1/3 cup is plenty.
- Make It High Protein: Add a scoop of unflavored protein powder for 20-25g of extra protein in this smoothie bowl.
- Green Boost: Incorporate a handful of spinach or kale for extra nutrients.
- Berry Power: Swap pineapple for frozen berries of your choice.
- Extra Nuttiness: Add a tablespoon of flax or chia seeds for extra nutrients and nuttiness to the smoothie.

Smoothie Bowl Tips:
- Frozen Fruit Is a Must: When making this smoothie bowl it’s key that you use frozen fruit.
- Use Minimal Liquid: The more liquid you add, the looser the smoothie will be. Add the recommended liquid amount, and gradually add more if needed.
- Consume The Smoothie ASAP: Once the smoothie is blended and served, consume it immediately.
