Description
A smoothie bowl is a vibrant and nutritious meal combining a thick, creamy smoothie base with a variety of colorful toppings. It’s a refreshing and energizing way to start your day or enjoy a healthy snack, packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Thick enough to eat with a spoon, smoothie bowls offer texture and flavor with endless customization options.
Ingredients
1 cup frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
1 frozen banana
1/2 cup Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt
1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
Toppings: sliced fresh fruit, granola, chia seeds, shredded coconut, nuts, seeds
Instructions
- In a blender, combine frozen berries, frozen banana, Greek yogurt, almond milk, and honey or maple syrup (if using).
- Blend until smooth and thick. If the mixture is too thick to blend, add a little more almond milk to help.
- Pour the smoothie into a bowl.
- Arrange your favorite toppings over the smoothie base, such as sliced fresh fruit, granola, chia seeds, shredded coconut, nuts, and seeds.
- Serve immediately and enjoy with a spoon.
Notes
- Best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day; stir before eating as texture may change.
- Use frozen fruits for a thicker consistency; fresh fruit can be used but may require ice cubes for chill.
- Add protein powder or nut butter for extra protein and creaminess.
- Customize toppings with favorite nuts, seeds, fruits, and superfoods.
- For dairy-free, use plant-based yogurt and milk alternatives.
