How to Make a Smoothie Bowl
I love smoothie bowls because they take a food that is typically consumed on the go, a traditional smoothie, and transform it into a meal that can be enjoyed sitting down.
Below I will go over the most important steps for making your very own smoothie bowl at home.
Pick The Base
Frozen mangos make the perfect base for any smoothie or smoothie bowl due to their ultra-creamy texture.
They also serve as an excellent smoothie bowl base because of their vibrant color and nutritional benefits outlined below.
Pick The Liquid
You want a smoothie bowl to be slightly thicker than a traditional smoothie, so you can easily enjoy it with a spoon.
For this reason, you will want to use less liquid than you would in a regular smoothie.
For this smoothie bowl recipe, I used coconut milk which gives this recipe a thick, silky texture.
You could also opt for options like avocado for a thicker option or another plant-based milk for a thinner liquid option, like hemp seed milk or homemade sunflower seed milk.
Additionally, for an extra cannabis-infusion option, you could use cannabis-infused milk or cream.
Pick The Flavor Enhancers
Mango itself is one of the sweetest, most delicious fruits, so there really is not much to add to flavor and sweetness but rather to complement the flavor.
To add an extra pop of flavor and nutrition, I added ginger and turmeric, two spice flavors that pair nicely with the mango to enhance, not overwhelm, the natural flavors of the fruit.
Pick The Toppings
Once you get the base made, your smoothie bowl truly is a blank canvas.
The toppings of your smoothie bowl are seemingly unlimited.
The key is to pick 2-3 nutritious options than you enjoy the most and add them in reasonable quantities.
Many of the most popular smoothie bowl toppings
- Fresh fruit like diced mango
- Nuts like almonds or walnuts
- Seeds like chia seeds or hemp seeds
- Additional garnishes like edible flowers
Cannabis Mango Smoothie Bowl Nutrition Benefits
Mangos are no doubt the sunniest fruit in the product aisle.
Their sweet flavor and rich health benefits make them the most widely consumed fruit in the entire world.
According to the National Mango Board, just 1 cup of mango provides:
- 100% of Daily Vitamin C
- 100 calories
- 35% of Daily Vitamin A
- No cholesterol, sodium, or fat
Mango Benefits
- Each serving of mango is
fat-free , sodium-free, and cholesterol-free - Mangos contain over 20 different vitamins and minerals, helping to make them a superfood
- A mango a day contains 12 percent of your daily fiber requirement
Ginger
Ginger is a spice that is derived from the rhizome of a flowering Chinese plant that has many health benefits.
While ground ginger is used in this recipe, you can use fresh ginger as well if you have it available.
Turmeric
Known for its bright, vibrant orange color, this spice has an important compound called curcumin.
Circumin is more bioactive when paired with black pepper.
Because of this fact, this recipe calls for a tiny dash of black pepper, but don’t worry - you can’t even taste it!
Cannabis Infusion Options
When making cannabis edibles, there is always more than one way to infuse a recipe.
While I prefer to add a teaspoon of cannabis oil directly to this smoothie bowl, there are many other options you can choose from, depending on what you have on hand.
Alternative Infusion Options:
- Cannabis-Infused Milk: Use for the milk of choice in step 1
- Decarbed Cannabis Flower: Add 1-2 teaspoons in step 1
- Decarbed Cannabis Kief: Add ¼-1/2 grams in step 1
- Cannabis Tincture: Add 1-2 teaspoons in step 1
- Cannabis-Infused Oil: Add 1-2 teaspoons in step 1
- Leftover Cannabis Pulp: Add 1-2 teaspoons in step 1
