Last night’s dessert or this morning’s breakfast? You decide…this avocado smoothie bowl is perfect for either meal! I love a good smoothie bowl…it makes me feel like I’m eating a big bowl of ice cream without the guilt! Whatever flavor I’m making, it’s usually popping with color from fresh fruit or veggies.
Frozen fruit is the key to a creamy smoothie bowl. This one is packed with mango, banana and everyone’s favorite good fat…AVOCADO! I was feeling tropical so I added a touch of unsweetened coconut which compliments the frozen mango. Mini chocolate chips for a touch of sweet and chia seeds for some brain food!
I like to buy all of these organic frozen fruits in bulk at Costco, however you can totally use fresh fruits. If you do so, I suggest adding about a cup of ice to get a good smoothie texture.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator in an airtight container up to 24 hours. If you’d like to freeze for later, let it thaw for at least an hour at room temperature.
Smoothie bowls are great for breakfast, a snack and even dessert! Try this creamy tropical treat thats bursting with flavor! Topped with coconut, chia and chocolate, it will not disappoint!
