Mango Smoothie Bowl

I could live only eating fruits and veggies (don’t do it though it’s not balanced 🙂 ! And we are spoilt here, especially when it is the mango season ! My kids love fruits too, but sometimes find it a bit boring when I tell them their afternoon snack will always feature a fruit. Smoothies are a great way to shake it up and make it much more fun for them to have their dose of real natural sugar, vitamins and fibers ! And yes smoothies are much better in my opinion than juices. I have a cold pressed juicer at home and do use it, especially to make veggies juices. But compared to a smoothie you lose all fibers when you juice. And for that reason too, smoothies are much more filling and Leo will always be satisfied with a smoothie whereas he ll ask for more after a big cold pressed juice 🙂

Adjust the recipe below to get the consistency you like and either drink or eat it. In case you make a smoothie bowl, top with goji berries, extra banana or mango slices, hemp seeds, pomegranate, raw cacao nibs, quinoa flakes or coconut flakes.

  • 1 cup frozen bananas
  • 1/2 cup almond milk
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 5/6 ice cubes (adjust to consistency you like)
  • Optional 1/4 tsp real vanilla extract

Instruction

Put everything in your high speed blender, blend until smooth.
