Instructions
Add the frozen fruit and milk to a blender and blend until smooth. If it’s too thick, pour in a little extra milk. If it turns out too thin, toss in a few ice cubes to thicken it up.
Wash, peel, and slice your toppings. Make sure to remove any stems from the berries so everything’s ready to go.
Pour the smoothie into a bowl and arrange the toppings along one side, slightly curving them toward the center as you go. Overlap each topping a little for a nice layered look. Serve right away while it’s cold and fresh.
Notes
Once everything looks smooth, stop blending.
Stick your bowl in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes before assembling. It helps keep the smoothie cold and your toppings in place.
Want it to hold you over a little longer? Add protein powder, Greek yogurt, or silken tofu to the base. You can also mix in extras like chia seeds, flaxseeds, spirulina, or maca powder for a boost.
Play around with texture. Combine creamy, crunchy, and juicy toppings like granola, nut butter, fresh fruit, coconut flakes, or chocolate chips. Every bowl can feel like a new creation.
Give it a quick taste before pouring. If it’s too tart, a little honey or maple syrup helps. If it’s too sweet, a splash of lemon juice can balance it out.
Serve: Add a boiled egg, nut butter, or chia pudding for protein. Pair it with toast, a muffin, or banana bread, plus a drink like iced coffee, tea, or juice.Store: Make the berry smoothie bowl base ahead to save time. Store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours or freeze for up to a month. Let frozen bowls sit out to soften before stirring or blending. For best results, keep toppings separate and add them just before serving to keep everything fresh and crisp.
