Green Smoothie Bowl Recipe
This tropical Green Smoothie Bowl is a simple way to add one cup of veggies to your morning breakfast! I used frozen mango, banana, and spinach as the base with protein milk and yogurt for extra protein. I love buying green smoothie bowls at SoBol, but making them yourself is cheaper, and you can control how much sugar is added. Just prep your fruit and freeze it so you can whip it up in the morning, or buy frozen fruit to make this smoothie bowl recipe quicker and easier. It’s so delicious that you’ll forget you’re eating something healthy!

Green Smoothie Bowl Ingredients
I love how you can customize smoothie bowls to fit your tastes and dietary needs. You can choose your favorite fruits, vegetables, protein powder, and toppings to create one tailored to your liking.
- Fruit: One cup of frozen mango and one banana
- Spinach: Baby spinach gives this smoothie bowl its green color. I think spinach is the best type of smoothie bowl greens for a smoothie because it has a milder flavor than others. You can also use frozen spinach or baby kale.
- Milk: I used this plant based protein milk, but anyone of them will work. You can also use another type, like almond, soy, or even regular cow’s milk.
- Yogurt: I used dairy-free Cocoyo, but any yogurt will work.
- Smoothie Bowl Toppings: Mango, strawberries, unsweetened coconut flakes.
How to Make Green Smoothie Bowls
- To begin, puree half of the banana with the frozen mango, spinach, protein milk, and yogurt in a blender until smooth.
- Once the smoothie is blended, pour it into a bowl. Dice the remaining half of the banana and sprinkle it on top with the diced mango, strawberries, and coconut flakes.
Variations:
The great thing about this smoothie bowl recipe is that it’s easily customizable. You can add or substitute any fruits or toppings, depending on what’s in season or what you have on hand. Some other great options for toppings include chia seeds, sliced almonds, or granola. Here are a few more green smoothie bowl ideas that you can try to mix things up:
- Tropical Smoothie Bowl: Swap out the strawberries for pineapple, and top the bowl with kiwi, shredded coconut, and macadamia nuts for a taste of the tropics.
- Chocolate Banana Smoothie Bowl: Add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the smoothie mix and top it with sliced bananas, almonds, and cacao nibs for a chocolaty twist.
- Berry Blast Smoothie Bowl: Use mixed berries instead of mango and strawberries in the smoothie mix and top it with fresh berries and granola for a burst of flavor.
- Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie Bowl: Add a tablespoon of peanut butter to the smoothie and top the bowl with sliced bananas, granola, and a drizzle of peanut butter.
