This tropical green smoothie bowl is made with frozen bananas, mango, kiwi, mint, spinach, chia seeds, vanilla soy yogurt, and coconut milk. It’s ready in just 5 minutes and tastes like a tropical paradise.
It’s supposed to be 66 degrees today and 73 degrees tomorrow.
This basically means you’ll find me in capri pants and flip-flops all while cleaning my house like a madwoman with the windows open.
I’ll probably also bust out my tropical/fruit/summer candles because I have reached the point in the season where I’m going to pretend winter is over.
This tropical green smoothie bowl is just another thing to help me get over the hump of winter.
It’s packed with fruit, vegetables, and diary-free vanilla yogurt. It’s perfectly sweet and can be topped with all. the. things!
In my case, I went full-on tropical and topped this bad boy with toasted coconut, chia seeds, blackberries, kiwi, mint, AND edible flowers!
I think the flowers are so pretty I don’t even care that I had to pay $2.99 for 2 little flowers.
This was also my first time ever using a dairy-free yogurt.
I had my concerns – would it taste good? Would it be as thick as traditional yogurt? Would I be able to taste that it’s “dairy-free?”
It tasted great and all my concerns were slowly swept away.
I haven’t tried all their flavors but this vanilla is on point! They do make a plain that would probably work lovely in this smoothie bowl but I’m sort of a sucker for that sweet vanilla flavor.
If you’re thinking to yourself “I still don’t get this smoothie bowl craze…” I hear you. I used to be one of those people BUT the reason for a smoothie bowl is simple – toppings.
Trust me it’s the toppings that make it worthwhile.
You get all that smoothie goodness PLUS the added nutrition of chia seeds, fruits, etc. Plus I think they’re super pretty which definitely counts for something.
I’m not much of a morning person but waking up to this pretty smoothie bowl every morning MIGHT just change that.
Also, you can’t really argue with how easy they are to make. Throw everything in your high-powered blender (I LOVE my Vitamix for this job) and whiz it up till smooth and creamy.
In just about 5 minutes you have a perfect tropical green smoothie bowl breakfast.
