Coconut Mango Smoothie Bowl

 


No blender, make ahead breakfast option that reminds me of a pina colada without the pineapple. The bowl is fruity, filling and a great source of protein. 

TIPS: 

  • To make ahead, mix the mango into the yogurt and store in a leak proof container in the refrigerator. When ready - pull it out, top with coconut and go.
  • I use frozen mango that I thaw in the fridge overnight. Or frozen mango can be added to the "bowl" and stored in the refrigerator. 
  • I like 4 teaspoons of sweetener that measures 1:1 for sugar. You can use whichever sweetener you prefer but keep in mind the ratio. 
  • Keeps in refrigerator for 3 days.
  • Add a little more chia seeds as garnish on top, optional.
