Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

Before you start blending, gather all your ingredients. Using frozen mixed berries and a frozen banana will give your smoothie bowl the right texture.

If your blender struggles with frozen fruit, let the fruit sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes to slightly soften.
Measure out your almond milk (or preferred milk) and any optional add-ins like protein powder or nut butter.

Step 2: Blend Until Smooth and Thick

Add ingredients to a high-speed blender – Start with 1 cup frozen mixed berries, 1 frozen banana, ½ cup almond milk, and any optional ingredients (protein powder, chia seeds, yogurt, etc.).
Use a tamper (if available) – This helps push the ingredients down toward the blades without adding extra liquid.
Blend on low speed, then increase gradually – Start on low to break down the frozen fruit, then increase the speed until smooth.
Scrape down the sides if needed – If the mixture isn’t blending well, stop and scrape down the sides to ensure everything gets incorporated.
Adjust consistency if necessary – If the smoothie is too thick to blend, add 1-2 tablespoons of almond milk at a time until it reaches a smooth but thick texture.

Tip: Avoid adding too much liquid—keeping it thick is key for a spoonable smoothie bowl.

Step 3: Pour and Assemble Your Bowl

Once blended, pour the smoothie mixture into a bowl.
Smooth out the surface with a spoon for an even texture.

Step 4: Add Your Favorite Toppings

Toppings make your smoothie bowl both delicious and visually appealing. Try a mix of textures and flavors:

Crunchy: Granola, sliced almonds, coconut flakes
Fruity: Fresh berries, sliced banana, frozen blueberries
Nutrient-packed: Chia seeds, hemp seeds, flaxseeds
Sweet treats: Dark chocolate shavings, drizzle of honey or almond butter

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!

Your berry smoothie bowl is now ready to enjoy. Eat it with a spoon and savor the creamy, refreshing flavors with every bite.
