This mango and goat cheese smoothie bowl is savoury-refreshing, tangy and deliciously filling! It’s made with five healthy ingredients and simply add any of your favourite toppings and enjoy it anytime of the day.
Summer is all around the corner and there is nothing quite like a smoothie bowl during the hot summer months. Aside from the fact that smoothies are refreshing and energizing, they are also incredibly healhty and easy to make!
Why Mango?
Mango is delicious! Mango is one of my favourite fruits and it is the national fruit of the Philippines (where I grew up). This fruit brings back a lot of childhood memories. Aside from being delicious, mango is also packed with lots of nutrients that includes:
- dietary fiber (good for bowel movement)
- vitamin c (immune system booster)
- copper (, folate (good for the blood)
- vitamin B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 & B5 (good for growth, energy production and over all health),
- niacin (good for nervous and digestive system)
- vitamin A (good for the eyes),
- potassium (good for the heart and muscles)
- vitamin E (good for the skin)
- manganese (antioxidant and good for bones)
- vitamin K (good for the bone)
- thiamine (good for bones, muscles, heart and brain)
It also contains small amounts of phosphorus, pantothenic acid, calcium, selenium and iron. In addition, mango is also packed with antioxidants such as different type of polyphenols, including mangiferin, which is especially powerful.
Why Goat Cheese?
Goat cheese is a great source of protein along with a powerful combination of calcium, phosphorus and copper — nutrients that are essential for healthy bones. Plus, goat cheese provides healthy fats, including medium-chain fatty acids, that can improve satiety and benefit weight loss. In addition, it also contains probiotics which are friendly bacteria that benefit your health in many ways.
Good as post-workout meal
I think these two are a good combination. I actually came up with this combo after I went for a run. This smoothie bowl is really good as a post workout meal.
This recipe is also a single serve smoothie bowl the same with my other smoothie bowl recipe. On the other hand, it’s also very easy to double the measurement to double the serving size.
Ingredients
Most of the ingredients used here are easy to find and usually available all year round at your local grocery store. You will need frozen mango, (which can be easily found in the frozen aisle) frozen banana (fresh banana, sliced and pop in the freezer), some yogurt and milk of your choice. You will also need a blender to mix everything up, as well as bowl or a jar. Last but not the least, toppings of your choice! I like putting granola on my smoothie bowl to get that crunchy texture on every bite. Yum!
