A quick, easy, and delicious tropical smoothie bowl packed with mango, banana, and protein powder, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a post-workout treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) frozen mango chunks
  • 1 medium ripe banana, sliced and frozen
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • ½ cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or dairy-free coconut yogurt (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Fresh mango slices (for topping)
  • Banana slices (for topping)
  • Chia seeds or hemp seeds (for topping)
  • Toasted coconut flakes (for topping)
  • Granola (choose a low-sugar variety for topping)

Instructions

  1. Slice the banana and freeze it for at least 2 hours. If mango isn’t frozen, chop and freeze it similarly.
  2. In your blender, add 1 cup frozen mango chunks, the frozen banana slices, 1 scoop protein powder, and ½ cup unsweetened almond milk. Add Greek or coconut yogurt if using, along with honey or maple syrup if desired.
  3. Blend starting on low speed, gradually increasing to high. Blend for about 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture is creamy and thick. If too thick to blend, add a splash more almond milk (1 tablespoon at a time) to loosen.
  4. Check the texture; it should be thick enough to hold toppings without sinking. If too thin, add a few ice cubes or more frozen banana and blend again.
  5. Pour the smoothie base into your serving bowl. Arrange fresh mango slices, banana, chia seeds, toasted coconut flakes, and granola on top as desired.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy promptly for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

Freeze fruit in advance for thick texture. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness. Adjust milk quantity to achieve desired thickness. Blend in stages if blender struggles. Consume immediately for best texture. Store base without toppings in fridge up to 24 hours; do not reheat.
