- MAKES 4 SMOOTHIE BOWLS
These fruity mango smoothie bowls are fortified with oats and chia seeds and are excellent for breakfast or as an energizing snack. Frozen bananas and mango create a smooth and creamy base, orange juice offers a subtle citrus background, and turmeric deepens the yellow hue. Top with fresh blueberries and sliced kiwi for extra juicy goodness. Feel free to get creative with your toppings; for instance, you could use any combination of other berries or fresh fruit, pumpkin seeds, slivered almonds, cacao nibs and so on. Store any leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day.
Tips: To freeze bananas, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Freeze sliced bananas on prepared baking sheet for at least 2 hours.
This recipe can be made gluten-free, if you use certified gluten-free rolled oats.
