Ingredients
Scale
Frozen Fruits
- 1 frozen banana or mango chunk
- 1 cup frozen berries or mixed frozen fruits (banana, mango, berries)
Liquid Base
- 1/2 cup almond milk, coconut water, or yogurt
Superfood Boosts
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon flaxseeds
- Optional: 1 scoop protein powder
Fresh Fruits
- Slices of kiwi
- Fresh strawberries
- Fresh blueberries
Crunchy Toppings
- Granola
- Mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts)
- Coconut flakes
Instructions
- Choose and Prepare Your Fruits: Select ripe, fresh fruits and freeze at least one banana or mango chunk to ensure a thick, creamy bowl. Cutting fruits into chunks before freezing helps your blender work smoothly.
- Blend the Base: Combine your frozen fruits with a splash of liquid base like almond milk or coconut water in a high-speed blender. Blend until creamy but thick enough to eat with a spoon, adjusting the liquid gradually.
- Pour and Level the Bowl: Transfer your smoothie base into a wide bowl, spreading it evenly to create the perfect canvas for your toppings.
- Add Toppings Beautifully: Arrange fresh fruits, granola, nuts, and superfoods on top in colorful patterns that make your bowl look as good as it tastes.
- Enjoy Immediately: Serve your Smoothie Bowl fresh to enjoy the ideal textures and flavors before it starts to melt.
Notes
- Thickness is Key: Use more frozen fruits than liquid to achieve a thick, spoonable texture.
- Blend in Bursts: Pulse your blender instead of running continuously to control texture.
- Pre-Freeze Your Toppings: Freeze bananas or berries beforehand for a refreshing crunch.
- Balance Sweetness: Add a splash of natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup only if needed.
- Use a Variety of Textures: Mix creamy, crunchy, and juicy elements for a satisfying bite every time.
