Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh pineapple, chopped
- 2 ripe kiwis, peeled and sliced
- 1 banana
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- Granola, for topping
- Chia seeds, for topping
- Fresh fruit slices, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and chopping the fresh pineapple into small cubes. Peel and slice the kiwis, and peel the banana.
- Add the chopped pineapple, sliced kiwis, and banana into a high-powered blender. Pour in the coconut milk and honey (if using).
- Blend the ingredients on high speed for 45-60 seconds until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, with a thick, consistent texture.
- Stop the blender and check the consistency. If too thick, add a little more coconut milk; if too thin, add more frozen fruit.
- Pour the smoothie mixture into two serving bowls, using a spatula to ensure even distribution.
- Artfully arrange granola on top of the smoothie bowl, creating a decorative pattern or scattered coverage.
- Sprinkle chia seeds evenly across the surface for added nutrition and texture.
- Garnish with additional fresh fruit slices like extra kiwi, pineapple, or banana around the edges of the bowl.
- Serve immediately while the smoothie is cold and fresh, enjoying the vibrant colors and tropical flavors.
Tips
- Choose Ripe Fruits: For the best flavor, ensure your pineapple and kiwis are perfectly ripe. They should be fragrant and slightly soft to the touch.
- Chill Your Ingredients: If you prefer a colder smoothie bowl, freeze the banana beforehand or use frozen pineapple to enhance the refreshing quality.
- Adjust Consistency: If your smoothie is too thick, gradually add more coconut milk until you reach your desired texture. Conversely, if it's too thin, blend in more frozen fruit.
- Customize Toppings: Feel free to get creative with your toppings! Consider adding nuts, seeds, or other fruits like berries or mango for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Make It Vegan: To keep the recipe vegan, simply omit the honey or substitute it with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Presentation Matters: Take your time when arranging the toppings. A beautifully presented smoothie bowl not only tastes better but also makes for an Instagram-worthy shot!
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy your smoothie bowl right after preparing it to savor the fresh flavors and vibrant colors at their best.
