Firstly, I am a big fan of smoothie bowls and this easy tropical smoothie bowl recipe is on top of the list with only 2 ingredients and 2 superfood powders. Then the texture is perfect and the taste is heaven. Most importantly, smoothie bowls are a great alternative to bread or cereals and it tastes even better.

In fact, it is a fabulous alternative if you are looking for a gluten free and dairy free breakfast. The ripe mango and the banana are sweet enough, so it has no additional sugar.

Needless to say, it is made in few minutes in a high speed blender.

2 ingredients only and 2 wonderful superfood powders

Maybe you know but working out is a big part of my life and smoothie bowls are a great way to eat properly before or after workout. Packed with the right ingredients like this delicious tropical bowl, it keeps you full and strong thanks to the frozen banana, fresh mango, baobab and maca powder.

In other words, full of exotic flavors, this recipe helps to get better results from your workout too. You need to nourish your body properly when you exercise and to avoid muscle fatigue. This is a perfect way I found to get everything I need in a bowl. You can always add 1 Tbsp of some vegan or vegetarian protein powder too.

What are maca powder and baobab powder?

Have you ever heard about MACA or BAOBAB powders?

In other words, they are known as superfood. Because it is ultra healthy and gives you a health kick.

Maca powder is very famous in Peru where it comes from. It raises your energy in a balanced way. It seems to be a good source of quality protein, it helps to build muscles and balanced the hormones.

Baobab powder is a natural source of wellbeing in Africa for centuries. It is an excellent source of vitamin C, calcium, potassium, fiber and vitamin B6. It is high in antioxidants, improves energy levels, boost your iron levels and support your immune system.

You can find them in every organic shop, at Lulu hypermarket or Alosra. Or you can easily order them online too.

How to do a smoothie bowl?

Above all, you don’t need special skills. The ideal would be to have 1 frozen ingredients amongst the two. Either frozen banana and fresh mango or frozen mango and fresh banana to reach the perfect texture.

You blend.

It’s done !

The more powerful is your blender the smoother your smoothie bowl will be. But a Nutribullet works very well for a start. If you want to invest into a high speed blender, my favorite are Vitamix or Blendtec.

What do I recommend for topping ?

I always find that topping is a great way to add more texture and nutrients to your bowl. I pick up colors that matches my bowl to make it beautiful and appealing. As a foodie, my meal has to be beautifully arranged because beauty is happiness.

In this tropical smoothie bowl, I add extra fresh mango pieces, fresh or freeze dried raspberries or strawberries for their deep color and berry flavor and some chia seeds for protein and an extra crunch.
