How to Make Mango Passionfruit Smoothie Bowls
Step 1: Prep the Fruit
Peel and slice the banana, then freeze until solid. Cut open the passionfruits and scoop out the pulp.
Step 2: Blend the Base
In a high-speed blender, combine frozen mango, frozen banana, passionfruit pulp, and coconut milk. Blend until ultra-smooth and thick. If needed, add a splash more coconut milk to reach your desired consistency.
Step 3: Taste and Sweeten
Taste your smoothie base. If you'd like it sweeter, blend in maple syrup or honey. Add chia seeds now for extra texture and nutrition.
Step 4: Assemble Your Bowls
Spoon the thick smoothie into two bowls. Swirl with extra passionfruit pulp and add your favorite toppings: sliced fruit, granola, coconut flakes, or seeds.
