Ingredients

1 1/2 cups frozen tropical fruit medley I used a combination of peaches, pineapple, mangoes and strawberries.
1/4 cup preferred milk, or more as needed if blender gets stuck
1 teaspoon Tajín seasoning, divided
1 tablespoon honey or preferred sweetener optional
1 scoop unflavored protein powder, optional I used Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides
Salted pepitas, for topping
Diced mango, for topping
Whipped or coconut cream optional

Instructions

Dice a fresh mango into cubes and set aside.
Add milk, frozen fruit, honey and 1/2 teaspoon of Tajín seasoning to a high-powered blender. Stop and stir often if the blender is getting stuck. Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed, and then blend again.
Once the smoothie bowl mixture has a thick, smooth consistency, add the protein powder. Blend until once again smooth.
Pour the smoothie bowl mixture into a bowl. Top with diced mango, salted pepitas, 1/2 teaspoon of Tajín seasoning (or adjust to your preference), and a dollop of whipped cream. Consume immediately and enjoy!

Notes

See customization ideas for some fun ways to change up this recipe.
If it's too thick, add a splash of milk until desired consistency. If not thick enough, add a couple pieces of fruit to blender at a time until thicker consistency is reached.
Start with about ¼ to ½ cup of milk for every 1½–2 cups of frozen fruit. Add more 1 tablespoon at a time only if needed to get things moving.
Blenders like a Vitamix or Ninja can handle thick blends better. If using a standard blender, stop and stir often or pulse to avoid motor strain.
