Mango smoothie with chia seeds served in coconuts.

Coconut Mango Smoothie Bowl is a delectable treat packed with satiating nutrients - protein, fat and fiber - a sure way to rein in those hunger pangs any day!

If you want to make a richer dessert, then this amazing mango cake will work. Or this refreshing falooda with mango.

Mango Chia Coconut Smoothie Bowl

Coconut Mango Smoothie Bowl

Nothing says "Tropical Summer" like a coconut mango smoothie topped with juicy lychee served in a coconut shell. Layer that luscious smoothie with some chia seeds soaked in milk for some nutritious texture surprises.

Sprinkle some hemp seeds, chia seeds, coconut flakes or almond slices on the top for a delicate crunch and an added nutritional punch. And you have a bowl of goodness in taste, flavor and nutrition with a tropical flair.

I had originally developed this mango smoothie bowl for those undertaking long summertime fasts, as the satiating nutrients can help sustain a fast. But this could also be a treat "once in a while", as it is high in fat and especially saturated fat.

Nutrition Facts

There is a lot of debate about the use of coconut products in diet. Some say it is super healthy due to its distinct saturated fatty acid composition and process of digestion. And still several experts caution that there is not much convincing evidence yet to use it routinely in place of confirmed healthy fat sources.

Until we know more, I lean toward the latter held position. I surely love and enjoy coconut but believe that it can be part of a healthy diet when used in moderation.

Mango Chia Coconut Smoothie Bowl

Mangoes are not simply about taste and pleasure alone. These fruits are rich sources of vitamin A, vitamin C and fiber. The beta carotene (which converts to vitamin A) is known to be protective against cancer. The high fiber and water content in mangoes aid with maintenance of intestinal health, regularity and prevention of constipation.

The vitamin rich mangoes are also very good for the skin and hair. Mangoes are a good source of zeaxanthin, an antioxidant credited with lowering the risk of age related macular degeneration. It is also a heart healthy fruit.

And if you like using chia seeds, you must check out other unique ways of using it, as in my recipes  - Chia Mahalabia with Pistachios and Quinoa Crusted Eggplant Chickpea Patties, where I also discuss about its nutrition benefits.

    Gosh these are making me crave summer. I love that you pictured them in coconut halves. I can get mangos here in Ohio but I'm betting those mango trees in India produced far superior ones! One day I'd love to travel somewhere that grows mangoes so I can actually taste the difference!

      Thanks so much for your feedback Jill. The mangoes there have a more intense flavor. I remember my mom used to smell the mangoes when choosing the fruit. But now here too we sometimes get good mangoes. Especially I get them from the Indian markets.
