Why You Will Love This Guide

Smoothies are an excellent way to incorporate cannabis into your daily diet and other fruits and vegetables.

It fits perfectly with my other healthy cannabis recipes and is a favorite among my Well With Cannabis Community.

Plus, this smoothie incorporates mango, an ingredient that has been anecdotally reported to help enhance the effects of cannabis.

We will discuss this more in the post, but it is thought to be likely due to the terpene myrcene present in mangos.

Ingredient Notes

• Mango - frozen mango chunks are best
• Greek yogurt - plain, vanilla, or coconut flavors work best
• Coconut milk - or any type of milk you prefer, like cannabis milk
• Protein powder - optional, but this helps to increase the nutrient density of this smoothie bowl. I prefer unflavored collagen peptides.
• Cannabis oil - your choice for what kind of oil to use; find many different options below
• Honey - regular or cannabis-infused honey
• Ginger - ground or fresh work
• Turmeric - ground or fresh work
• Black pepper - optional, but this helps increase the bioavailability

Note: a complete list of ingredients with amounts and printable instructions is located in the recipe card below.

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 a smoothie bowl at home.

If you've never made a cannabis smoothie before, you can check out my ultimate cannabis smoothie guide here.

The bright, vibrant color of this beautiful cannabis mango smoothie bowl signals springtime and will put you in a happy mood for sunnier days to come.

If you have never had a smoothie bowl, you're in for a treat.

This cannabis mango smoothie bowl has a perfect blend of fresh mango, coconut, and anti-inflammatory spices for a bright, vibrant taste and a hearty dose of nutrients and antioxidants.

Pick The Base

Frozen mangos make the perfect base for any smoothie or 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, you could use cannabis-infused milk or cream as an extra cannabis-infusion option.

Pick The Flavor Enhancers

Mango is one of the sweetest, most delicious fruits, so there is not much to add to flavor and sweetness but to complement the flavor.

To add an extra flavor and nutrition, I added ginger and turmeric, two spice flavors that pair nicely with the mango to enhance, not overwhelm, the fruit's natural flavors. 

Pick The Toppings

Once you make the base, your smoothie bowl is a blank canvas.

The toppings of your smoothie bowl are seemingly unlimited.

The key is picking 2-3 nutritious options you enjoy and adding them in reasonable quantities.

Many of the most popular smoothie bowl toppings include:

• Fresh fruit like diced mango
• Nuts like almonds or walnuts
• Seeds like chia seeds or hemp seeds
• Additional garnishes like edible flowers

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

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 Benefits

Ginger is a spice derived from the rhizome of a flowering Chinese plant with many health benefits.

It is anecdotally used as a stomachache remedy or to reduce nausea.

While ground ginger is used in this recipe, you can also use fresh ginger if available. 

Turmeric Benefits

Known for its bright, vibrant orange color, this spice has a special compound called curcumin.

Curcumin 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!
