Ingredients
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 banana
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- Granola for topping
- Fresh berries for garnish
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are fresh and ripe. Wash the mixed berries thoroughly under cold running water.
- Peel the banana and cut it into chunks to help with easier blending. Remove any stems from the berries.
- Add the mixed berries, banana chunks, almond milk, and chia seeds into a high-powered blender. Blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
- Check the consistency of the smoothie. If it's too thick, add a little more almond milk. If it's too thin, add more frozen berries or ice.
- Pour the blended smoothie into two serving bowls, spreading it evenly with the back of a spoon to create a flat surface.
- Sprinkle granola generously over the top of each smoothie bowl for added crunch and texture.
- Arrange fresh berries on top as a beautiful and nutritious garnish. You can create a decorative pattern or scatter them casually.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the smoothie bowl at its freshest and coldest temperature. Best consumed within 10-15 minutes of preparation.
Tips
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor and nutrition, select ripe and fresh berries. Frozen berries can also be used for a thicker texture, but ensure they are unsweetened.
- Blend for Perfection: Use a high-powered blender to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. If your blender struggles, blend in smaller batches or add a splash more almond milk.
- Adjust Consistency: Don’t hesitate to tweak the thickness of your smoothie bowl. If it’s too thick, add more almond milk; if it’s too thin, toss in some extra frozen berries.
- Get Creative with Toppings: While granola and fresh berries are classic choices, feel free to experiment with toppings like nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, or a drizzle of honey for added sweetness.
- Serve Immediately: For the best experience, serve your smoothie bowl right after preparation. This ensures you enjoy it at its freshest and coldest, maximizing both flavor and texture.
- Make it a Meal: To turn this smoothie bowl into a more filling meal, consider adding a scoop of protein powder or nut butter to the blend for extra sustenance.
