# What You’ll Need:
→ Smoothie Base
01 - 1 cup frozen blueberries
02 - 1 cup frozen strawberries
03 - 1 medium ripe banana
04 - 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
05 - 2 tablespoons almond butter
06 - 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
07 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
08 - Pinch of sea salt
→ Toppings
09 - 1/4 cup fresh blueberries
10 - 1/4 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
11 - 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
12 - 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes
13 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
14 - 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds (optional)
# How-To Steps:
01 - Add frozen blueberries, frozen strawberries, banana, almond milk, almond butter, honey or maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to a blender.
02 - Blend on high until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. Add a small splash of almond milk if the mixture is too thick to blend—it should remain thick and spoonable, not runny.
03 - Pour the thick smoothie base evenly into two serving bowls, spreading it smooth with the back of a spoon.
04 - Decoratively arrange fresh blueberries, sliced strawberries, sliced almonds, coconut flakes, chia seeds, and pumpkin seeds over the surface of each bowl.
05 - Enjoy right away while cold and fresh, before the base softens.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The frozen fruit trick means you get ice cream texture without any guilt or waiting around for breakfast.
- It looks like something from a trendy cafe but costs a fraction and takes under ten minutes from fridge to bowl.
02 -
- A runny smoothie bowl is almost always caused by too much liquid or thawed fruit so freeze your bananas ahead of time and measure the milk carefully.
- Letting the bowl sit for more than ten minutes turns that gorgeous texture into soup so eat it the moment it is ready.
03 -
- Freeze your bananas in halves already peeled so they break apart easily and blend faster without any fussing.
- Toasting the coconut flakes and almonds in a dry skillet for two minutes transforms them from pleasant to completely irresistible.
