Turmeric Mango Smoothie Bowl

Turmeric makes this smoothie bowl a pretty, mustard color. Turmeric has many health benefits: anti-inflammatory compound, lowers risk of heart disease. Turmeric has the potential to prevent cancer and Alzheimer’s. The active compound in turmeric is curcumin which contains medicinal properties, but is only present in small amounts in turmeric. India has used turmeric for many years and it has only recently gained popularity in the United States. Check out my other turmeric recipe: chia pudding parfait!

The tiny specks you see are the blended chia seeds that I added for protein. This bowl was pretty deep, so you can definitely get two servings out of this recipe if you’re not too hungry.

I always struggle getting smoothie bowls to be a thicker consistency–somehow they always turn out runny. But, the secret is to use frozen fruits! Instead of using ice, which makes your bowl watery, the frozen fruits provide a denser, thicker texture.

Mango, pineapple, and banana go so well together and make this bowl a tropical paradise! If you want to get your greens in, feel free to add spinach–I didn’t because I wanted the color to look nice.

I used Purely Elizabeth Granola, but you can use whatever granola you’d like. Her granola is made with ancient grains, like quinoa, amaranth, and chia–these are superfoods! The granola is also gluten-free, vegan, organic, and free of refined sugars. The granola is sweetened and baked with coconut sugar and oil. I tried the original flavor, but there are other flavors such as dark chocolate strawberry and chocolate sea salt and peanut butter. This granola has a good crunch and comes in large clusters which I love!
