Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 2.5 cups mango (frozen chunks work best for a thick, ice cream-like texture)
- 1.5 bananas (frozen)
Liquids
- 3/4 cup coconut milk (I prefer Thai Kitchen for its rich consistency)
- 2 oz water
Flavoring
- Pinch of fresh ginger (grated)
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Gather frozen mango chunks and bananas, ensuring they are properly frozen to achieve the desired thick texture. Grate a small pinch of fresh ginger for added flavor.
- Combine ingredients in blender: Place the frozen mango, frozen bananas, coconut milk, water, and grated ginger into a high-powered blender.
- Blend until smooth: Blend all ingredients on high speed until the mixture reaches a creamy, smooth consistency resembling soft-serve ice cream. Pause to scrape down the sides if needed for even blending.
- Adjust thickness if necessary: If the smoothie bowl is too thick, add more water or coconut milk in small increments and blend again until desired consistency is reached.
- Serve and garnish: Pour the smoothie mixture into bowls and garnish as desired with toppings like fresh fruit slices, nuts, seeds, or coconut flakes for added texture and nutrition.
Notes
- Frozen fruits are essential for a thick, ice cream-like texture.
- You can substitute almond milk or oat milk for coconut milk if preferred, though the texture and flavor may differ slightly.
- Fresh grated ginger adds a subtle spicy kick, but can be omitted or substituted with a pinch of ground ginger for convenience.
- Feel free to add toppings such as chia seeds, granola, or shredded coconut for extra texture and nutrients.
- This smoothie bowl is best enjoyed immediately to preserve its creamy texture.
