Notes

Dairy milk or another plant-based milk can be used instead of unsweetened almond milk.
Smoothie bowls with bananas tend to be very creamy. If you want an icier smoothie bowl, replace some of the banana with frozen mango.
You can also add a few ice cubes. Put them in the blender after the frozen mango.
Before freezing bananas, always slice them into coins first. This will make it easier to puree in the blender.
If freezing your own mango, choose a ripe one. You can tell a mango is ripe if the skin is green with some red or orange. It should also have some give when you gently press it.
Skip the Medjool date to reduce the sweetness.
When possible, make smoothie bowls when you're ready to eat them. Storing a smoothie bowl can make the ingredients separate. If you need to store leftovers, keep it in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for no more than 2 days.
