Mango-Turmeric Smoothie Bowls

Source of Recipe

From "The Honeysuckle Cookbook" by Dzung Lewis


Recipe Introduction

"If you're ever on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii, be sure to make a stop at the Sunrise Shack in Hale'iwa. Their smoothie bowls are legendary. I got one topped with some beautiful Hawaiian papaya. I loved how the bowls came icy-cold with some healthy add-ins. After getting back to LA, I created this easy mango smoothie bowl, which is built on frozen mango with a mixture of colorful tropical ingredients. I recommend chopped dates, sliced almonds, toasted pistachios, or flaxseeds as other topping ideas."

List of Ingredients

â—¦ 2 cups frozen mango chunks
â—¦ 2 very ripe bananas
â—¦ 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
â—¦ ½ cup whole milk of your choice
â—¦ 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
â—¦ 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
â—¦ Dash of ground cinnamon
â—¦ About ½ cup sliced dragon fruit or berries (such as strawberries or raspberries)
â—¦ About ½ cup diced papaya
â—¦ 1 tablespoon chia seeds
â—¦ 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes


Recipe

In a blender, combine the mango, one of the bananas, yogurt, milk, vanilla, turmeric, and cinnamon. Blend on high speed until you get a thick purée. (If the blender gets stuck, add 2 more tablespoons milk to get it moving.)

Slice the remaining banana.
Pour the smoothie into a bowl and top with the sliced banana, dragon fruit, papaya, chia seeds, and coconut flakes. Enjoy!
