# How-To Steps:

01 - Combine frozen mango chunks, chilled coconut milk, coconut yogurt, lime juice, lime zest, and maple syrup in a blender. Blend on high until thick, creamy, and completely smooth. Add a splash more coconut milk if a thinner consistency is desired.
02 - Taste the blended base and adjust sweetness with additional maple syrup or brightness with extra lime juice as needed.
03 - In a small bowl, combine flaky sea salt, chili powder, cayenne pepper (if using), and lime zest. Stir until evenly mixed and set aside.
04 - Pour the smoothie base evenly into two bowls.
05 - Artfully arrange diced mango, toasted coconut flakes, chia seeds, granola, and kiwi slices over the surface of each bowl.
06 - Sprinkle the prepared chili salt generously over the toppings and garnish with fresh mint leaves. Serve immediately with a spoon.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The chili salt topping sounds weird until you try it and wonder how you ever ate fruit without it.
  • It takes exactly ten minutes from fridge to bowl, which means no excuses on busy mornings.
  • That creamy, thick texture feels like dessert but eats like a proper breakfast.
02 -
  • If your blender is not powerful enough for frozen fruit, let the mango sit at room temperature for five minutes before blending and your machine will thank you.
  • The chili salt keeps for weeks in a tiny jar, so make extra because you will want it on everything from watermelon to roasted corn.
03 -
  • Chill your bowls in the freezer for ten minutes before assembling and the smoothie base will stay thick much longer.
  • Toast the coconut flakes in the same pan you used for nothing else and they will pick up every bit of residual warmth and flavor.
