It’s thicker than a smoothie, eaten with a spoon, and topped with fresh fruit, seeds, and nuts for extra crunch and nutrition. This recipe combines tropical fruits with leafy greens for a breakfast that’s both delicious and nutrient-packed.

👩🍳 Step-by-Step Method
1. Blend the base
-
In a blender, combine mango, banana, spinach, yogurt, and milk.

Blend until smooth and thick. (Tip: Use less liquid to keep it thicker than a drinkable smoothie.)

If it’s too thick → add a splash of milk.

If it’s too runny → add extra frozen fruit.
3. Pour into a bowl
-
Transfer the smoothie to a wide bowl.
-
Smooth the top with the back of a spoon for a pretty base.
4. Add toppings
-
Arrange fruit slices, granola, nuts, seeds, and coconut flakes on top.
-
Keep toppings colorful and balanced for both nutrition and presentation.
5. Serve immediately
-
Eat with a spoon and enjoy the mix of creamy + crunchy textures.
