Hi guys, I’ve been feeling a little bit stuck in a rut with my smoothie choices lately and I wanted to try and mix things up a little. I tend to have smoothies for breakfast far more often in summer and some variety had never hurt anyone. As I’m sure you’ve noticed most of my smoothie bowls tend to be berry based, so I’m trying to step out of my comfort zone with this mango vanilla breakfast bowl.
This recipe contains protein powder and oats as optional ingredients as I wanted to make it as filling as possible if you were to have it for breakfast. I did use a no added sugar yoghurt in an attempt to make things healthier, then I used sweetened vanilla almond milk…The good intetherentions were . I would have used unsweetened vanilla if I could have found some, so if you have that available where you are, make that your first option.
If you choose to include the optional ingredients in this you will have to add more liquids to compensate. The amounts I’m going to list in the recipe below are based on using one of the two optional ingredients.
This recipe is gluten free, dairy free and vegan. It can be made nut free if you opt for vanilla soy milk instead of almond.
Ingredients
- 200g frozen mango
- ½ cup vanilla almond milk
- 100g no added sugar mango Alpro yoghurt
- ½ scoop vanilla protein powder (optional)
- 20g GF oats (optional)
Toppings
Toppings are the best part! And you can obviously have whatever you want but I used the following in the one pictured
- 1 kiwi, sliced
- Handful GF nutty granola
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
Method
You know what to do here…add it all to a blender and blend until smooth.
Does this sound like a smoothie you’d enjoy for breakfast? Would you include either of the optional ingredients (or both)? I’ love to know what your favourite smoothie toppings are!
Enjoy!
Until next time,
Sophie

I never think to have kiwi in the mornings, this would be so nice!
Yummy! Mango is one of my favourite fruits! The moment I saw the title for this blog post, I knew I had to check it out! I love the toppings you added as well! I’ve been obsessed with green kiwifruit recently so no doubt I’ll be adding it myself when I end up giving this recipe a go!
I’m an incredibly fussy eater and I’m trying to change that. This looks like a really different breakfast idea, I need to differ from my marmite on toast every day. Hopefully I’ll get there in the summer.

This sounds divine!!! I’ll have to give it a try!

Okay so I think you’ve answered my prayers! I’ve just been told that I need to be gluten free so this is a god-send! I can’t wait to try this!

This sounds really good! I don’t often have smoothies but seeing the photos really makes me want to try them more. Especially with how easy it is to make them. I love strawberries so will have to look into recipes with them! Thanks for sharing 🙂

Mmmm that looks so yummy! I am really into smoothie bowls and other healthy breakfast bowls during the warmer months – will add this to my to try list! Also I prefer Alpro’s vanilla yoghurt to normal vanilla dairy yoghurt – so the mango flavour sounds incredible!!

Even though I’m not a vegan, this looks and sounds amazing! I love these types of breakfasts, they are healthy and always make me feel like my day is gonna be perfect!!
Alpro yoghurt is so great. I usually get the plain one with oats. I eat it with some sliced grapes and flaked almonds and it makes a perfect sweet snack.

I’ve seen lots of mentions of breakfast bowls – to me it should be a big bowl of cereal! Might have to give this a go.

This seems a good idea for breakfast. I m a great fan of anything that has kiwi so seems m going to love it
Mangoes and kiwis are my two favourite fruits so this sounds amazing to me! Xx
I adore smoothies, I used to make them all the time and I’m not sure why I stopped? My favourite was a banana and peanut butter smoothie but otherwise, like you, they tended to be berry-based smoothies. I love the look of this one, mango is just gorgeous, I think you’ve just re-ignited my smoothie passions again, thank you! x

Yesss, this is the kind of smoothie I’d enjoy! I also don’t mind any berries, and I’ve been enjoying milled organic flaxseeds on my smoothies and porridge! Nice idea hun, thank you for sharing 🙂 xx Ain
That looks absolutely light years tastier than my daily oatmeal!
This looks SO refreshing & perfect for these summer months. I absolutely adore kiwi too & have just realised it’s been ages since I’ve had some…craving! x x

Oooh, I’m not usually one to choose the most healthy of breakfasts but this looks amazing! I haven’t had kiwi in so long and I absolutely love it so thats definitely a topping that I’d pick too!

This looks so tasty! I think when it comes to smoothies we all get a bit stuck and stick with berries but this is such a nice change!
