What other Fruit Goes Well with Mango?
Although I love the combination of fruits included in this mango smoothie bowl recipe, there are so many other fruits that taste delicious with mango! Try adding in some of the fruits below.
- Pineapple: Cut and slice the outside of the pineapple and chop it into smaller chunks.
- Coconut: Either shredded coconut or use a real coconut from the tropics!
- Strawberries: Wash the strawberries and cut the top of the green leaves off for a strawberry mango smoothie bowl recipe.
- Kiwi: Peel the brown skin off of the kiwi and slice it into sections.
- Oranges: Find ripe oranges and either cut or peel the outside layer of the orange.
- Peaches: Fresh or frozen peaches are delicious to throw into the blender. You can leave the peel on or remove it using a knife.
- Blueberries: This blends well with mangos and gives the smoothie bowl a whole new color of blueish purple. Clean and wash the blueberries and add them right to the blender.

I actually really like smoothies but I’ve never thought about eating them in a bowl like this. It’s an interesting idea and I love the flavors. Mango, banana and honey definitely go great together and I can’t wait to show it off to my friends. Looks really cute and tastes even better!
Hi there. I love smoothies and I am a big fan of mangoes. As soon as I saw what this post is about, I knew that I am going to love it. I put less coconut and a bit more banana and berries. Also, this is a great way to use chia seeds!
Wow! This is definitely on my list of smoothies to make! Looks absolutely delicious. My favorite fruit is mangoes and with these amazing toppings, it looks like a perfect meal! Thanks for sharing!
So yummy, fresh, and light!
I made this for my two kids last night and they absolutely devoured it! Thanks so much for sharing this smoothie bowl with us.
Super delicious because I just tried today with a little dash of chocolate sauce. Loved it because I didn’t feel bloated after.
Wow. Looks delicious. The mango season has just started in India and this recipe is worth a try. Fantastic snaps. Thanks
We made this tonight and my kids adored it. Thanks so much for this recipe.
So, newbie question haha. Do you just use canned coconut milk? Or do they sell it in cartons like regular milk?
You can use whatever you like! I like to get it in the box, which is kept by the shelf-stable almond, soy, and rice milks.
Absolutely beautiful pictures! I am a smoothie fanatic too but haven’t tried a smoothie bowl yet…I may have to jump on the bandwagon with this recipe! :)
The smoothies looks so healthy and delicious! I love to have mango as dessert because of the sour taste. Yum~ Your mango dessert with those topping makes me feels wanna make them right now! Thanks for sharing!
These smoothie bowls look so delicious! I love anything with mango, so I’ll have to make these soon for my family!
