Green Smoothie Bowl (Printable)

A refreshing spinach and fruit blend topped with granola and fresh berries for a nutritious breakfast.

# What You'll Need:

→ Smoothie Base

01 - 2 cups fresh spinach leaves, washed
02 - 1 frozen banana, sliced
03 - 1/2 cup frozen mango chunks
04 - 1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
05 - 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
06 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds
07 - 1 tablespoon nut butter, optional
08 - 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup, optional

→ Toppings

09 - 1/2 cup granola, use gluten-free if needed
10 - 1/2 cup mixed fresh fruit such as kiwi, strawberries, blueberries, banana slices
11 - 1 tablespoon shredded coconut, optional
12 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds or hemp seeds, optional

# How To Make It:

01 - Combine spinach, frozen banana, frozen mango, frozen pineapple, almond milk, chia seeds, nut butter if using, and honey or maple syrup if using in a high-speed blender. Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy, approximately 1-2 minutes. If the mixture is too thick to blend, add additional almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
02 - Pour the blended smoothie base evenly into two serving bowls, using a rubber spatula to scrape all contents from the blender.
03 - Arrange granola, fresh fruit, shredded coconut, and additional seeds over the top of each smoothie bowl. Serve immediately with spoons while the smoothie base is still thick and frozen.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Its practically dessert for breakfast but youll feel accomplished before your morning coffee even kicks in
  • The toppings make it feel like a treat from an expensive cafe while taking literally ten minutes
  • Even vegetable skeptics find themselves going back for seconds without realizing they just ate two cups of spinach
02 -
  • A watery smoothie bowl is basically sad soup so keep that blender going until it's seriously thick
  • Frozen fruit is not optional here unless you want to add ice which will water down all the flavors
  • Your blender needs to be powerful enough to break down the frozen banana completely or you'll get weird chunks
03 -
  • Freeze your own overripe bananas when they start spotting so you're always ready to make this
  • Invest in a good tamper tool for your blender to push ingredients down without adding more liquid
