Want a totally Instagrammable smoothie bowl? Serve it in half a coconut and top it with a mango rose—both guaranteed to wow your foodie friends. Sticking with the tropical theme, kiwi, banana, and coconut water add island flavor to the green smoothie inside.
Yield: 1 serving
Active Time: 10 minutes
For the smoothie:
1 banana
1 handful kale
1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
1 teaspoon matcha powder
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 teaspoon maca powder
1 tablespoon chia seeds
3/4 cup coconut water
For serving:
1/2 mango, peeled
2 tablespoons coconut chips
1/2 coconut (optional)
Make the smoothie
Blend all ingredients in a high-speed blender until smooth. Transfer to serving bowl or coconut half, if using.
Make the mango rose
Lay mango half cut-side-down on a cutting board. Fan out the slices so that they form a long line with the ends of each slice overlapping. Starting at one end, roll mango slices inwards towards the center to create a spiral rose shape.
Decorate the smoothie bowl
Sprinkle smoothie with coconut flakes, then top with mango rose to serve.
