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.
