Hi loves! Hope everyone had an amazing weekend! It was the most gorgeous weekend here in CLT. Omg, guys…the weather was seriously spectacular! The warmer temps & sunny skies had me feeling kinda tropical yesterday morning + I had just bought some frozen mango chunks so I whipped up this so delicious Banana & Mango Spice Smoothie Bowl!
Mangos are one of my favorite fruits, they are so delectable! I have the best memories of growing up in Florida & the amazing mango trees in my great grandparents backyard. It was so fun to pick them & eat ’em up! My dad has this way of cutting them up, that when I was a kid, thought it was sooo cool….
Cut your mango in half, use a knife making several cuts, length wise & then across, making little cubes, flip them inside out, and dive right in!
Since I don’t have any mango trees growing in the backyard, frozen ones will have to do! (LOL) And, I actually prefer frozen fruit when making smoothies/smoothie bowls. I’d much rather save my fresh fruit for eating, not blending. I kind of feel like blending fresh fruit is a bit of a waste, don’t you!?
