Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 1 cup spinach
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/2 cup frozen berries
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- Toppings: granola, fresh berries, nuts
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are fresh and ready to use. Wash the spinach and fresh berries thoroughly.
- Peel the ripe banana and break it into smaller chunks to help with blending.
- Add the banana, spinach, frozen berries, almond milk, and chia seeds into a high-powered blender.
- Blend the ingredients on high speed for 45-60 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy, with no visible chunks.
- If the smoothie seems too thick, add a little more almond milk and blend again briefly to reach desired consistency.
- Pour the smoothie mixture into two serving bowls, spreading it evenly.
- Artfully arrange toppings: sprinkle granola around the edges, scatter fresh berries in the center, and garnish with a handful of chopped nuts.
- For an extra special Mother's Day presentation, consider using a heart-shaped bowl or adding a small edible flower as a garnish.
- Serve immediately to ensure the smoothie bowl is at its freshest and most vibrant temperature.
Tips
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the banana, the sweeter your smoothie will be! Look for bananas with a few brown spots for optimal flavor.
- Frozen berries are key: They not only add a refreshing chill to your smoothie bowl but also help achieve that creamy texture without needing ice.
- Customize your toppings: Get creative with your toppings! Consider adding a drizzle of honey, a sprinkle of coconut flakes, or even a dollop of yogurt for added creaminess.
- Blend in stages: If your blender struggles with leafy greens, blend the spinach and almond milk first to create a smooth base before adding the rest of the ingredients.
- Presentation matters: Use colorful bowls and arrange your toppings artfully. A little extra effort in presentation can make your smoothie bowl even more appealing!
- Add protein: For an extra boost, consider adding a scoop of protein powder or a spoonful of nut butter into the mix before blending.
- Serve immediately: Smoothie bowls are best enjoyed fresh, so serve them right after preparing for the best taste and texture.
