- Mangos – Another great way to get the preferred texture and add some extra sweetness.
- Blue Spirulina Powder – Packed full of nutrients.

Variations & Substitutions
- When it comes to making this smoothie bowl your own there are some amazing substitutions and variations that you have to try. Here are some of my favorites but reach out in the comments if you have tried something that works.
- Swap out the Greek yogurt – You can use almond milk instead or choose your favorite plant-based milk or yogurt to make this smoothie bowl vegan-friendly.
- Frozen mango – I have used fresh mango pieces but you can use frozen mango instead.
- Different berries – I loved using blackberries as a topping for my smoothie bowl but strawberries and raspberries would equally work well.
- Granola – You could use your favorite store-bought granola or have a go at making your own. You could also use other cereals as toppings if you wish.
- Orange juice – If you don’t have any orange juice or want to be consistent with flavors, then mango juice is a great substitution. Apple juice will also work well.
Smoothie Bowl Instructions

- Pour the smoothie into a bowl. Garnish with granola, blackberries and mango.
Recipe Notes & Tips
It’s always good to have some extra tips and tricks to ensure that you can make this simple, or get the best out of a recipe. So here are some of my top tips:
- Don’t add ice to the smoothie bowl – While you may ordinarily do this for smoothies, the ice will water down the smoothie bowl. You want a thicker consistency.
- For extra thickness always use frozen fruit.
- Get creative with your toppings – Add different flavors and textures for a taste sensation.
