Ingredients
Scale
Fruits:
- 1 frozen banana
- 1/2 cup (75 grams) frozen mango chunks
- 1/2 cup (75 grams) frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 kiwi, sliced
- 1/4 cup (35 grams) blueberries
Greens and Extras:
- 2 cups (60 grams) baby spinach
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
Toppings:
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) granola
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon shredded coconut
Instructions
- Prepare fresh spinach, banana, mango, and pineapple by washing and roughly chopping into chunks for easy blending.
- Add the tropical fruit pieces, spinach, almond milk, almond butter, and optional honey into a high-powered blender.
- Pulse and blend the mixture for 45-60 seconds until achieving a silky, uniform texture with no visible leafy or fruit fragments.
- If the consistency appears too thick, gradually introduce additional almond milk and blend again for 10-15 seconds.
- Transfer the vibrant green smoothie into a wide, chilled serving bowl, ensuring smooth and even distribution.
- Create an aesthetically pleasing topping arrangement by strategically placing sliced kiwi, scattered blueberries, crunchy granola, sprinkled chia seeds, and delicate shredded coconut across the smoothie surface.
- Serve immediately with a decorative spoon, maintaining the chilled temperature and fresh fruit integrity for optimal taste and visual appeal.
Notes
- Choose fresh, ripe fruits for the most vibrant flavor and natural sweetness in your smoothie bowl.
- Use frozen fruits to create a thicker, more sorbet-like texture without adding extra ice.
- Adjust liquid content carefully to achieve the perfect creamy yet spoonable consistency – start with less almond milk and add gradually.
- Swap ingredients for dietary needs: use maple syrup instead of honey for vegan option, or coconut yogurt for dairy-free protein boost.
