This mango smoothie bowl is:

• Refreshing
• Fruity
• Creamy
• Healthy
• Vibrant
• Flavorful

It's also vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free (if using vegan + GF protein powder and toppings).

You only need 5 simple ingredients to make this vegan tropical smoothie bowl, plus any toppings of your choice:

Mango: Choose ripe, sweet, and juicy mangoes for the best flavor. You can also use frozen mango chunks for a thicker and creamier texture.

Banana: Use fresh or frozen banana, depending on your preference. Frozen bananas add a creamier texture and a subtle sweetness to the smoothie bowl.

Protein Powder: Use your favorite vegan vanilla protein powder for added protein and flavor. If you use an unsweetened protein powder, you may wish to add a sweetener of your choice to taste.

Coconut Milk: Choose full-fat coconut milk for a creamier and richer taste.

Orange Juice: Freshly squeezed orange juice gives the most refreshing flavor.

Here's how to make this tropical fruit bowl. Full detailed recipe and quantities are in the recipe card at the end of the post.

Switch some of the mango for pineapple or papaya for a tropical twist.

As an alternative to coconut milk you can also use coconut cream, coconut water, or coconut yogurt. If you can't have coconut, then you can use another non-dairy milk.

You can switch some of the orange juice for lime juice, which goes deliciously with mango. As it's more sour than orange, you can use less and add some maple syrup to compensate.

Here are some delicious toppings that complement the tropical flavors of this smoothie bowl:

• Banana slices
• Diced mango
• Pineapple chunks
• Kiwi slice
• Papaya
• Passion fruit
• Chia seeds
• Vegan granola
• Unsweetened coconut flakes
• Cashew nuts
• Cacao nibs
• Hemp hearts
• Mint leaves

Enjoy customizing your tropical smoothie bowl with your favorite toppings

This recipe makes one large serving of a tropical smoothie bowl, but you can easily split it between two shallow bowls for two portions.

Serve the smoothie bowl immediately to enjoy its creamy and refreshing texture.

Store: Smoothie bowls are best consumed immediately after preparing, but if you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
