This vegan banana moringa smoothie bowl is a nutritional powerhouse packed with antioxidants, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The combination of frozen banana, mango, baby greens, and zucchini creates a sweet, creamy treat that's not only delicious but also beneficial for your health. Whether you enjoy it for breakfast, a light meal, or a snack, this recipe is a great way to incorporate more plant-based foods into your diet. It's vegan, gluten-free, high in protein and fiber, and contains no added sugar. Plus, it has a delightful taste similar to a tropical fruit smoothie with an earthy undertone! You can also customize it to your liking by adding your favorite fruits or greens.

Frozen banana: Frozen banana adds potassium, fiber, folate, and magnesium and increases sweetness and creaminess.

Frozen mango: I used frozen mango for flavor and sweetness, but pineapple would also work.

Zucchini: To boost the nutrition and bulk of my smoothies, I included frozen zucchini. I slice raw zucchini into rounds and freeze them. If raw zucchini is hard for you to digest, you can peel and freeze it if you don't have frozen zucchini. Fresh zucchini also works, as long as you have frozen mango and banana.

Fresh greens: I love baby greens, and dark leafy greens are where it's at, and every smoothie is a chance to get more of them into your diet. Say hello to vitamins A, K, manganese, folate, iron, copper, and B vitamins. You can use any greens that you like.

Chia seeds: 1-2 Tbsp of chia seeds or seeds of your choice. Hemp, flax, and pumpkin balance omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids well.

Vegan protein powder: This optional plant-based protein thickens the smoothie, making it an excellent choice for those looking to boost their protein intake without using animal products.

Moringa powder: The key ingredient! It offers numerous benefits, such as being rich in antioxidants and providing a natural energy boost. Moringa is known for its potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Plant-based milk: I used almond milk for the liquid, but the choice is yours. Plant-based milk, whether coconut, cashew, hemp, or coconut water, can add a unique flavor and texture to your smoothie bowl. Don't be afraid to experiment and find your favorite combination!

Top with berreis, kiwi, dragon fruit or any fruit, seeds and maybe a little almond butter if you have used coconut water as your liquid. Coconut flakes are a nice topping as well, and you can also put the chia seeds and moringa powder as a topping for an appetizing look! The toppings are only limited by your imagination, so have fun with it! Mango slices, kiwi, nuts, mint and raspberries... you get the idea!
