Nutritional benefits

A smoothie bowl is more useful than a drinkable smoothie: its thick texture forces you to eat it slowly, which improves fullness, and the toppings (granola, seeds, fruit) add fibre, healthy fats and crunch. Mango and red berries bring vitamin C and antioxidants, banana provides potassium, and yoghurt supplies protein and calcium. A complete, colourful breakfast that children love.

Variations and substitutions

• Dairy-free: plant-based yoghurt.
• More protein: a scoop of protein powder or skyr.
• Other bases: red berries, dragon fruit, acai.
• Toppings: desiccated coconut, peanut butter, fresh fruit.

Storage and make-ahead

The smoothie bowl is best eaten just made for the texture and the vitamins. You can prepare bags of frozen fruit (mango and banana) ready to blend in the morning. Add the toppings at the last moment to keep the crunch.

💡 Good to know

The secret to a thick bowl you can eat with a spoon: use frozen fruit and very little liquid. If it is too thick to blend, add the liquid a spoonful at a time.
