Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1/2 frozen banana
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk (or almond milk)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
Toppings
- 2 tablespoons shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup granola
- Fresh berries for garnish
- Chia seeds or sliced almonds (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Smoothie Base: In a blender, combine the frozen mixed berries, frozen banana, unsweetened coconut milk, Greek yogurt, and honey or maple syrup if using. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no large chunks of fruit for a perfect texture.
- Assemble the Smoothie Bowl: Pour the blended smoothie mixture into a serving bowl, creating a thick base perfect for holding the toppings without them sinking in.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the shredded coconut, granola, and fresh berries evenly over the top. Add optional chia seeds or sliced almonds for added texture and nutritional benefits.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy the smoothie bowl right after preparation to savor the best flavors and maintain the ideal consistency. If left to sit, the smoothie base may become watery.
Notes
- For a thicker smoothie bowl, add more frozen banana or a few ice cubes before blending.
- You can substitute any frozen fruits of your choice, such as mango or pineapple, for a tropical variation.
- Adjust the sweetness to your liking by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup, or omit it entirely for a more natural fruit flavor.
- Use dairy-free yogurt to make the recipe vegan and dairy-free.
