Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup mango chunks
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 1 banana
- 1/2 cup coconut water
- 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
- Toppings: granola, fresh fruit, coconut flakes
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing fresh fruits and measuring out precise quantities. Ensure fruits are ripe and at room temperature for optimal sweetness and blending consistency.
- Place frozen or fresh mango chunks, pineapple chunks, and peeled banana into a high-powered blender. The frozen fruits will create a thicker, more ice cream-like texture.
- Pour coconut water into the blender. The liquid helps create a smooth, pourable consistency while adding subtle tropical flavor and hydration.
- Blend ingredients on high speed for 45-60 seconds, stopping to scrape down sides if needed. Aim for a thick, creamy texture similar to soft-serve ice cream.
- If mixture is too thick, add small amounts of coconut water. If too thin, add more frozen fruit to achieve desired smoothie bowl consistency.
- Pour smoothie mixture into two serving bowls, spreading evenly with a spatula to create a smooth surface.
- Sprinkle hemp seeds across the smoothie for added protein and nutritional benefits.
- Decorate the top of each bowl with suggested toppings: scatter granola for crunch, arrange fresh fruit slices, and sprinkle coconut flakes for additional texture and flavor.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the smoothie bowl at its freshest and coldest state. Optional: Use a spoon or decorative utensil for an appealing presentation.
Tips
- Choose Ripe Fruits: For the best flavor and sweetness, make sure your mango, pineapple, and banana are perfectly ripe. This will enhance the overall taste of your smoothie bowl.
- Use Frozen Fruits: If you want an extra-thick and creamy texture, consider using frozen mango and pineapple chunks. They will give your smoothie bowl a delightful ice cream-like consistency.
- Adjust Consistency: If your smoothie is too thick, add a splash more coconut water to loosen it up. Conversely, if it’s too thin, simply toss in a bit more frozen fruit until you reach your desired thickness.
- Layer Your Toppings: Get creative with your toppings! Besides granola and coconut flakes, consider adding chia seeds, nuts, or even a drizzle of honey for added sweetness and texture.
- Serve Immediately: For the best experience, serve your smoothie bowl right after preparing it. This ensures that it remains cool and refreshing, making every spoonful a delight.
