Ingredients
For the Smoothie Base:
- 1 cup frozen fruits (berries, mango, banana, or whatever combo you crave)
- ½ cup yogurt (greek yogurt for extra protein, or any plant-based alternative)
- ½ cup milk (any kind you prefer, or even juice for extra sweetness)
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, depending on how sweet you like it)
- A handful of spinach (optional, for extra nutrients and no one will know)
For the Toppings:
- 2 tbsp granola (for that crunchy magic)
- 1 tbsp nuts (almonds, walnuts, cashews—take your pick)
- Fresh fruit (banana slices, kiwi, berries, or whatever’s in season)
- Chia seeds, coconut flakes, or peanut butter (optional, but why not?)
Instructions
- Blend Your Base:
- In a blender, toss in your frozen fruits, yogurt, milk (or juice), and optional spinach if you’re in the mood for sneaky health. Blend it all together until smooth and creamy, like a frozen smoothie cloud.
- Adjust the Consistency:
- If your smoothie is too thick to pour, add a little more milk to thin it out. If it’s too runny, add more frozen fruit or a spoonful of oats to thicken it.
- Pour & Create Your Masterpiece:
- Pour the smoothie into a bowl, but take a moment to appreciate the beauty of it first. It’s like liquid art.
- Top It Off:
- Add your toppings: granola, nuts, fresh fruit, and any other fun extras you desire. The more toppings, the better.
- Dive In:
- Grab your spoon and enjoy your masterpiece! No one’s judging if you eat it for lunch or dinner too.
Do’s and Don’ts
DO:
- Use frozen fruits to get that thick, creamy texture—ice cubes just won’t cut it.
- Experiment with different flavor combos—don’t be afraid to mix it up!
- Make it a full meal by adding a protein boost: try peanut butter, protein powder, or a scoop of oats.
DON’T:
- Skip the toppings; they’re what make the smoothie bowl a real treat.
- Overblend—smoothie bowls are all about that thick texture.
- Forget to drink water too—you’re getting healthy, but hydration matters!
Flavor Combos to Try:
- Tropical Delight: Mango, pineapple, and coconut yogurt with granola and shredded coconut.
- Berry Bliss: Mixed berries, banana, and almond milk with almonds and chia seeds on top.
- Green Machine: Spinach, banana, avocado, and almond milk with kiwi and nuts for topping.

Smoothie Bowls are the perfect excuse to eat dessert for breakfast (or anytime, really). Whether you go classic or creative, each spoonful is a refreshing delight. 🥑🍓🍯
