What You'll Need

Equipment

High-speed blender with a tamper or twist-top mixer (like the Ninja Twisti for best results)
Your favorite bowl (such as a Coconut Bowls for a tropical vibe)

Ingredients

1 ½ cups frozen mango
1 ½ cups strawberries (frozen, green tops included for extra goodness!)
1 frozen banana
⅓ cup unsweetened almond milk (The author recommends Elmhurst 1925 for its creaminess)
½ cup coconut water (C2O Coconut Water is a great choice)
1 TBSP unsweetened plain almond milk yogurt (Kite Hill is a fantastic option)
2 TBSP ground flax seeds
½ scoop Sunwarrior vanilla protein powder

Instructions: How to Make Your Smoothie Bowl

Combine all listed ingredients in your high-speed blender.
Blend until smooth and creamy, using the tamper or twist-top mixer as needed to push ingredients towards the blades. The mixture should be thick enough to eat with a spoon, not drink.
Pour the thick, vibrant smoothie into your favorite bowl.
Enjoy as is, or add your favorite toppings for extra texture and flavor!

Variations & Adaptations

This recipe is incredibly versatile!

Berry Burst: Swap out some mango for more mixed berries like blueberries or raspberries for a different flavor profile.
Tropical Paradise: Add a slice of fresh pineapple or a touch of passion fruit for an even more exotic twist.
Nut-Free: If you have nut allergies, simply substitute the almond milk and almond milk yogurt with oat milk or soy milk and a soy-based yogurt.
Extra Protein: Increase the amount of protein powder or add a spoonful of your favorite nut butter for a more filling meal.
Green Boost: Sneak in a handful of baby spinach – you won't taste it, but you'll add extra nutrients!

Tips & Hacks for the Perfect Smoothie Bowl

Always use frozen fruit! This is key to achieving that thick, creamy, ice-cream-like consistency without adding ice, which can dilute the flavor. Freeze your ripe bananas beforehand for best results.
Layer your blender: Place liquids at the bottom, then soft fruits/yogurt, followed by frozen fruits and protein powder on top. This helps the blender work efficiently.
Start with less liquid: It's easier to add more liquid if your smoothie is too thick than to thicken it once it's too thin. Add a tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
Don't overblend: Blend just until smooth. Over-blending can warm up the ingredients, making the bowl less frosty and delightful.
