Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh spinach or kale (for the vibrant green color)
- 1 ripe banana (for creaminess and sweetness)
- 1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1/2 cup frozen mango pieces
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or plant-based alternative
- 1/2 cup almond milk or coconut water
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (for added fiber and omega-3s)
- 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
- Fresh toppings: sliced kiwi, berries, granola, hemp seeds, shredded coconut
Instructions
- Rinse the fresh greens thoroughly and peel the banana. Measure out your frozen fruits and other ingredients for a smooth blending process.
- In a high-speed blender, add the spinach or kale, banana, frozen pineapple, mango, Greek yogurt, and almond milk. Blend until you achieve a thick, smooth consistency. If needed, add more liquid for easier blending, but keep it thick enough to hold toppings.
- Pour the blended mixture into a bowl. Decorate with your favorite toppings like sliced kiwi, berries, granola, and shredded coconut to create a visually appealing and texturally diverse Green Smoothie Bowl.
- Sprinkle chia seeds, hemp seeds, or add a touch of spirulina for that gamma-ray glow. Drizzle with honey or syrups if desired.
Notes
- Best enjoyed immediately for optimal freshness, color, and texture.
- If storing, keep the blended base in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Add toppings just before serving to prevent sogginess.
- Customize with superfood add-ins like spirulina, protein powder, flaxseed, or walnuts for enhanced health benefits.
