Mango, pineapple and banana make a sweet, sunny base that needs no added sugar. Blended frozen with a little orange juice and coconut milk, it turns into a thick, creamy bowl that is somewhere between sorbet and ice cream. Top it with fresh pineapple, toasted coconut and lime zest, and hand out spoons. It happens to be vegan, too.
Instructions
- Pour the orange juice and coconut milk into the blender and add the lime juice, mango, pineapple and banana.
- Blend on low, then on high, pushing the fruit down with the tamper or stopping to scrape the sides. After 1 to 2 minutes the mixture should be thick, smooth and creamy.
- Scoop into two bowls and smooth the tops.
- Top with the diced pineapple, toasted coconut, lime zest and passion fruit pulp, if using. Serve right away.
Tips
- Use frozen fruit straight from the freezer. If the blender stalls, add juice a spoonful at a time rather than pouring in more than you need.
- Freeze mango and pineapple yourself at peak ripeness. Spread the pieces on a tray first, then bag them, so they do not freeze into one block.
Questions and answers
Can I use fresh fruit instead of frozen?
Yes, but add about 1 cup of ice or freeze the blended bowl for 20 minutes. Fresh fruit alone gives a thin, drinkable smoothie rather than a thick bowl.
Is this smoothie bowl vegan?
Yes. It is made from fruit, juice and coconut milk only. Check that any extra toppings, such as granola, are vegan too.
How do I stop a smoothie bowl melting too fast?
Chill the bowls in the freezer for 10 minutes first, keep the toppings light and dry, and serve right away. Heavy, wet toppings thin out the surface.
