A quick and easy smoothie bowl packed with natural vitamin C from fresh oranges and tropical mangoes, perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack that boosts immunity.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) frozen mango chunks
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) fresh orange juice
  • 1 medium ripe banana
  • 1/2 cup (120g) Greek yogurt or dairy-free coconut yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds
  • Fresh strawberries or kiwi slices (for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon (7g) unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
  • 1/4 cup (30g) granola

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Peel the banana and oranges. Juice the oranges fresh if possible (about 1 medium orange yields 1/2 cup juice). Measure out frozen mango chunks and other ingredients. (Time: 5 minutes)
  2. Add fruit and liquids to blender: Place frozen mango, banana, freshly squeezed orange juice, and lemon juice into the blender. The frozen mango helps create a thick, creamy texture, so don’t skip it! (Tip: If your blender struggles, add liquids first.)
  3. Blend until smooth: Pulse and then blend on high for about 1 minute or until your smoothie is creamy and thick. You want it spoonable, not runny. If too thick, add a splash more juice or water; if too thin, add a few ice cubes or more frozen mango. (Time: 1-2 minutes)
  4. Incorporate yogurt and sweetener: Add Greek or coconut yogurt and honey or maple syrup if using. Blend again just until combined—don’t overblend or the texture can get too thin. (Time: 30 seconds)
  5. Mix in chia seeds: Add chia seeds and pulse twice to distribute evenly without breaking them down completely (they add a nice subtle crunch and health boost). (Time: 15 seconds)
  6. Pour smoothie into a bowl: Use a spatula to scrape the thick, creamy smoothie into your favorite bowl. It should hold its shape and not run like juice.
  7. Add toppings: Arrange sliced strawberries, kiwi, granola, and shredded coconut on top. Get creative with patterns or keep it simple—it’s all good! (Time: 3-5 minutes)

Notes

Use frozen mango for the best creamy texture; if using fresh mango, add ice cubes. For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and use maple syrup instead of honey. Chill the serving bowl for 10 minutes before serving to keep the smoothie firm longer. Do not blend granola; add it as a topping for crunch.
