How to Make a Healthy Breakfast Bowl: Easy, Nutritious Recipes for Busy Mornings

3. Thick Mango Smoothie Bowl

Best for: warm mornings and fruit-focused breakfasts.

You’ll need

  • 1 cup frozen mango
  • 1 frozen banana
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • ¼–½ cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened coconut

Blend it correctly

Add the frozen mango, banana, Greek yogurt, and ¼ cup of milk to a blender.

Blend until thick.

Only add more milk if the blades need help moving the mixture. Add it gradually rather than pouring in the entire additional ¼ cup immediately.

Transfer to a bowl and finish with chia seeds and coconut.

Why did my smoothie bowl turn into a drink?

Usually, there’s simply too much liquid.

A smoothie bowl should be substantially thicker than a drinking smoothie because it needs enough structure to support toppings.

Start with less milk. You can always add more.
