Green Smoothie Bowl Fruit (Printer-friendly)
A vibrant smoothie bowl featuring leafy greens and fresh fruit toppings, perfect for breakfast or snack.
# What you'll need:
→ Smoothie Base
01 - 2 cups fresh spinach leaves, packed
02 - 1 frozen banana, sliced
03 - 1/2 avocado
04 - 1/2 cup frozen mango chunks
05 - 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
06 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds
07 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup
→ Toppings
08 - 1/2 cup sliced fresh strawberries
09 - 1/2 cup diced kiwi
10 - 1/4 cup fresh blueberries
11 - 1/4 cup granola
12 - 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes
13 - 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
# Method:
01 - Combine spinach, frozen banana, avocado, mango chunks, almond milk, chia seeds, and maple syrup in a high-speed blender. Process until completely smooth and creamy, adding additional almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time if mixture is too thick to blend.
02 - Divide the blended mixture evenly between two serving bowls, using a spatula to scrape all contents from the blender.
03 - Slice strawberries into uniform pieces. Dice kiwi into small cubes. Measure blueberries, granola, coconut flakes, and pumpkin seeds into separate small bowls for easy assembly.
04 - Create decorative rows or sections with the prepared toppings: arrange strawberries, kiwi, and blueberries in colorful arcs, then sprinkle granola, coconut flakes, and pumpkin seeds across the surface. Serve immediately with spoons.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- You get two cups of greens in one bowl without ever feeling like you are eating salad for breakfast
- The frozen banana and avocado create the most incredibly creamy texture that feels almost like soft serve ice cream
02 -
- The texture should be thicker than a regular smoothie but thinner than ice cream, somewhere in that magical middle ground
- Room temperature ingredients will make the consistency thin and watery, so keep everything frozen until the moment you blend
03 -
- Blend the spinach with just the milk first before adding other ingredients to avoid any leafy chunks
- Prep your toppings before you start blending so the base does not sit and melt while you are slicing fruit
