Smoothie Bowl Variations & Recipe Notes:
You can change the recipe easily should you want to.
Below are some suggestions:
- The Smoothie Base: Add more tropical flavor by using coconut milk instead of oat milk.
- More Protein: Add a scoop of peanut butter or chocolate protein powder for extra protein!
- Nutritional Boost: Add a handful of spinach, and a tablespoon of chia seeds if you like for additional nutrients.
- No Oats: Swap the oats for flaxseeds or chia seeds, and the oat milk for almond, soy, or coconut.
- No Mango: Swap the mango for pineapple, strawberries, or banana if you don’t mind it.
Top Smoothie Bowl-Making Tips:
- Add Liquid Carefully: Different blenders and food processors will blend the smoothie differently. Some may require more liquid. Always start by adding a tablespoon. Too much liquid will make the smoothie bowl too runny.
- Use Frozen Fruit: Frozen mango is key to making this smoothie bowl. If you don’t have frozen fruit, the recipe won’t work.
- Chill Your Bowl: Place your serving bowl in the freezer for a few minutes before assembling your smoothie bowl to keep it cold longer.
- Don’t Forget The Toppings: Add texture and nutrients with toppings.
- Eat It Immediately: The smoothie bowl is ice cold and starts to melt as soon as it’s blended. Eat it within 10-15 minutes of blending.
