Ingredients
  

2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced

1 banana, sliced

1/2 cup coconut milk (or any preferred milk)

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional for creaminess)

1/4 cup chia seeds

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Toppings: Fresh mango slices, banana slices, coconut flakes, granola, nuts, and edible flowers (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mango: Start by peeling and dicing the ripe mangoes. Set aside a few slices for topping later.

    Blend the Smoothie: In a high-speed blender, combine the diced mangoes, banana, coconut milk, Greek yogurt (if using), honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a little more coconut milk to reach your desired consistency.

      Add Chia Seeds: Once blended, add in 2 tablespoons of chia seeds and pulse the blender a few times just to mix them in evenly. This gives the smoothie bowl a little texture.

        Chill the Mixture: Transfer the smoothie mixture into a bowl and let it chill in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes for the chia seeds to absorb some liquid and create a thicker texture.

          Assemble the Bowl: After chilling, pour the smoothie into a serving bowl. Use a spoon to create swirls or design patterns on the surface.

            Garnish: Top your smoothie bowl with the reserved mango slices, banana slices, a sprinkle of coconut flakes, granola, nuts, and any edible flowers if you desire for an aesthetic touch.

              Serve Immediately: Enjoy your vibrant and nourishing mango smoothie bowl as a healthy breakfast or a refreshing snack!
