🔪 Equipment

You will need the following equipment to make this recipe (affiliate links):

Chef's knife. To chop fruit.
Blender. To blend smoothie.

🍍 Ingredients

Plain Greek yogurt. Be sure to use plain unflavored Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt is best for this smoothie bowl because it's thicker than regular yogurt. It also has more protein and less sugar. (source) I like to choose one with no added sugar. Zoi and Fage are good brands.
Frozen mango chunks. Frozen fruit helps to thicken the smoothie bowl. Another benefit of frozen fruit is that it is frozen at the peak of ripeness and yields great flavor.
Bananas peeled and sliced. Two bananas are blended into the smoothie and one is sliced and added to the top of the tropical smoothie bowl.
Fresh mango, pitted, peeled and chopped. For wonderful tropical flavor and presentation. Mangoes are also very nutritious. (source)
Chopped fresh pineapple. Nothing says tropical like fresh pineapple. If you choose to buy pre-chopped or sliced pineapple in the produce section of your grocery store, be sure to use it quickly because it won't last very long in your fridge. You can also use frozen pineapple chunks. You will need to thaw them first.
Fresh strawberries. Sliced and added to the top of your smoothie bowl. If presentation matters to you, go for fresh strawberries. Thawed frozen strawberries will not look as nice.
Granola, chopped nuts, or shaved coconut garnish (optional). A few topping suggestions or you can leave it bare to let the fruit shine as we did.
Honey. To sweeten as desired to taste. If you are using fruit that is in season, you may not need this.

❓ FAQs

What can I top my smoothie bowl with?

Fresh fruit, chopped or sliced nuts, granola, chocolate shavings, coconut shavings, seeds, or cacao nibs.

What are the benefits of smoothie bowls?

They have nutritional value because they provide one or two servings of fruits and/or vegetables. In addition, unlike a traditional smoothie which is consumed quickly, a smoothie bowl is designed to be eaten slowly, helping to avoid sugar spikes in the blood stream.

How do you thicken a smoothie bowl?

If your smoothie bowl is too thin, try adding more frozen fruit or a few ice cubes to thicken it. You can also try adding a bit more banana. It makes a great thickener!
