# What You’ll Need:

→ Smoothie Base

01 - 1 1/2 cups frozen raspberries
02 - 1 frozen banana, sliced
03 - 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
04 - 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
05 - 1 teaspoon rose water
06 - 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut yogurt

→ Toppings

07 - 1/4 cup fresh raspberries
08 - 2 tablespoons cacao nibs
09 - 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
10 - 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes
11 - Edible rose petals

# How-To Steps:

01 - Combine the frozen raspberries, banana, almond milk, maple syrup, rose water, and coconut yogurt in a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure even consistency.
02 - Taste the blended mixture and adjust sweetness or rose water intensity to your preference. Rose water can be quite potent, so add gradually.
03 - Divide the smoothie base evenly between two serving bowls, using a spatula to ensure all the blended mixture is transferred.
04 - Arrange fresh raspberries, cacao nibs, sliced almonds, coconut flakes, and edible rose petals (if using) attractively on top of each smoothie bowl.
05 - Enjoy the smoothie bowls right away while the texture is thick and creamy and the toppings remain crunchy.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The rose water adds this sophisticated floral perfume that makes every spoonful feel elegant without being fussy
  • Cacao nibs bring this satisfying crunch and bitter chocolate contrast that balances the sweet raspberries perfectly
  • Takes literally ten minutes but looks like something from a fancy cafe Instagram account
02 -
  • Rose water can be overwhelming if you go heavy-handed, so start with half a teaspoon and work your way up
  • The longer you let the smoothie sit before eating, the thinner it gets, so have your toppings ready before you blend
  • Frozen banana is non-negotiable here, fresh banana will make it too loose and youll end up with soup instead of a spoonable bowl
03 -
  • If you dont have a high-speed blender, let your frozen fruit sit on the counter for five minutes before blending
  • The most photogenic bowls happen when you place toppings in sections rather than scattering everything randomly
  • A squeeze of fresh lemon juice right before serving brightens all the flavors and makes the raspberries sing
