If you have ever made a papaya smoothie, you will know that papaya brings a deep tropical flavor.

To summarize why you will love this smoothie bowl:

• It’s Easy To Make.
• It’s Dairy-Free.
• It’s Vegan-Friendly.
• It’s Low In Calories.
• It’s Low In Fat.

And many other reasons too.

One of the main reasons I personally love this bowl is because it’s so delicious, without the need for any special ingredients to added sugar.

If you do enjoy this smoothie, I recommend that you also try my tropical dragon fruit smoothie bowl, my weight loss papaya smoothie, and my pineapple papaya smoothie recipe!

Customizing The Smoothie Bowl & Recipe Notes

• The Smoothie Base: You can either use another type of dairy-free milk of choice or add an extra tropical taste by using coconut water.
• No Banana: For a no-banana version, swap the banana for another type of tropical fruit, such as pineapple.
• Nutritional Boost: Add a handful of spinach, a tablespoon of chia seeds, and even matcha powder for a boost of nutrients and antioxidants. 
• Protein Boost: Add a scoop of protein powder for 20-25g of extra protein!
• Creamier Version: If you are not vegan, add 1/3 cup of yogurt for extra creaminess, probiotics, and protein. 

My Top Smoothie Bowl-Making Tips

1. Blend to Smooth Perfection: Ensure all ingredients are fully blended to achieve a smooth, creamy texture. A high-power blender works best.
2. Use Frozen Fruit: Frozen mango and banana will give your smoothie bowl a thick, ice-cream-like consistency. If you don’t have frozen fruit, the smoothie bowl recipe won’t work.
3. Chill Your Bowl: Place your serving bowl in the freezer for a few minutes before assembling your smoothie bowl to keep it cold longer.
4. Enhance with Toppings: Add texture and nutrients with toppings.
5. Serve Immediately: To maintain the perfect consistency and temperature, serve the smoothie bowl immediately after preparation.

• Crunchy Seeds And Nuts.

If making more than one serving, do not use a Nutribullet, but rather use a higher-capacity blender.
