Mangoes and bananas are great fruits for getting the ultimate consistency in smoothies. They both freeze and blend to a natural creaminess. They also are sweet enough not to require any added sweeteners, though you are welcome to drizzle some honey or maple syrup on top if you like. But this sweet, fruity Mango Smoothie Bowl is absolutely delicious and I just know you're going to love it. Let's look at what you'll need to make it.

Main Ingredients
- Mangoes. You can buy frozen mango slices or use fresh mangos and freeze them yourself. I suggest using the sweetest mango varieties, such as Ataulfo or Haden. The tastier the mango, the tastier the smoothie bowl. Here is more info: Mango Varieties.
- Banana. It adds extra sweetness and a smooth texture.
- Coconut Milk. Adds a hint of flavor and helps to bring the smoothie to the right consistency.
- Toppings. I used almond pieces and shredded coconut. Other great topping options include fresh or dried fruits, berries, nuts, nut butters, seeds, cocoa nibs, etc.
How to Make Mango Smoothie Bowl
1. Peel the mangoes and slice them. Place the slices in a zip-lock bag in a single layer. Do the same with the banana. Freeze for at least 3 hours or overnight.
2. Place the frozen fruits into the food processor together, along with the coconut milk, and process until very smooth.
3. Transfer the mixture into a bowl and top with the desired toppings (I used almond pieces and shredded coconut in mine). Serve immediately.
Topping Ideas
- Fruits. Fresh or dried. Try kiwis, plums, dragonfruit, pineapple, acai, or pears.
- Berries. Fresh blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, or raspberries add juicy, sweet-tart flavor.
- Nuts. I used almond slivers, but cashews pecans, walnuts, or macadamia nuts work as well.
- Nut butters. Try almond or cashew butter as a topping. Or for a sweet treat, add some Nutella.
- Seeds. Chia seeds, pepitas, or flax seeds will add a nice crunch to your Mango Smoothie Bowl.
- Cacao Nibs. For a hint of dark chocolate flavor.
- Coconut. I like how the texture and flavor of shredded coconut tastes in this bowl.
- Bee pollen. Add a glittery finish to your Mango Smoothie Bowl with a sweet, floral flavor.
- Spices. Cinnamon, nutmeg, or chili powder could be added.
How to Get the Best Smoothie Consistency
There are a few ways that you can make it easier to get your Mango Smoothie Bowl to the perfect texture and consistency. Ideally, it should be thick, almost like ice cream. Here's a few tips to get it there:
- Freeze your fruit. You can slice and freeze your own or buy them in the freezer section of your local grocery store, but frozen fruit add a great smooth texture to your bowl, especially bananas.
- Use a food processor or high-speed blender. Having the right tools means being able to thoroughly and quickly blend your ingredients to the right consistency before they melt.
- Freeze your bowl. Before you pour your smoothie into the bowl, freeze the actual bowl so it will be cold enough to keep the thick and creamy texture of the mango smoothie for longer.
- Use cold ingredients. Like the frozen fruit, using coconut milk that's cold from the fridge and keeping any toppings cold will keep your Mango Smoothie Bowl at the right consistency longer.
Can I prep this ahead of time?
Yes, you can make this a faster process, especially for busy mornings, by preparing the ingredients. Pre-wash, slice, and freeze any fruit you'll be using. Then portion out any toppings. When you are ready to make this Mango Smoothie Bowl, you can blend it, pour it, and top it in minutes.
This Mango Smoothie Bowl is so refreshing and delicious, and also convenient. You're going to love the thick and smooth consistency, topping variations, and sweet flavor of this smoothie bowl, so why not give it a try? Enjoy!
