Mango & Mint Green Smoothie Bowls

Are you a green smoothie fan? 

Clearly, I am. My first-ever post here on Baked Greens was a guide to making green smoothies, and they are still on constant rotation here in my kitchen. Green smoothies are my version of fast food, and my favorite way to enjoy a nutrient-dense breakfast on my way to work. 

Some days, though, I want to slow down and enjoy a smoothie at the kitchen table instead of frantically slurping it before work. Smoothie bowls to the rescue! These smoothies are thick and creamy thanks to avocado, hemp seeds, and frozen fruit. They are also super refreshing because of the handful of mint that goes into the blender. If you’re skeptical of mint, you should try this! The sharp, fresh minty flavor is mellowed by the avocado and mango, and just remains as an herbal undertone.  Quite possibly the best part about these dreamy smoothie bowls is that they are the perfect vehicle for all your favorite breakfast toppings! Anything that you’d typically sprinkle, drizzle, or dollop onto oatmeal, yogurt, or chia pudding is welcome here. Think nuts, seeds, granola, fresh fruit, maple syrup/honey, nut butters, etc. Heck, you could even swirl in a big dollop of Greek yogurt or whipped coconut cream. Go wild! 

These thick, creamy, refreshing smoothie bowls are made with just 6 ingredients in about 5 minutes!!(Hello, quickest, easiest breakfast). Everything gets dumped into the blender, and you’re left with more time for gardening, hiking, drawing, baking, washing dishes, or whatever you do to bring joy to your life! If you make yourself a smoothie bowl this week, let me know how it turns out! Leave a comment below, or tag me #bakedgreens on Instagram. Enjoy!

Servings 2

Ingredients

  

• 2 large handfuls baby spinach about 4 cups, loosely packed
• 8-10 mint leaves
• 1/2 a ripe avocado
• 1 cup frozen mango
• 1 frozen banana
• 1 Tablespoon hemp seeds
• 1 cup water

Instructions

 

• 1. Place all ingredients into blender, and mix on high until completely smooth. This took less than a minute in my Vitamix, but may take a few minutes in a lower-powered blender.
• 2. Divide smoothie into 2 bowls, add desired toppings, and eat.

Notes

The thickness of these smoothie bowls comes mostly from the frozen fruit and avocado. If you use fresh fruit, expect a much thinner smoothie.

Full disclosure: I ate both of these as soon as I was done taking the pictures. And then probably 3,972 snacks afterwards.
