A thick, tropical smoothie bowl with fruit, seeds, and granola for a vibrant, nutritious breakfast or snack.
# What You'll Need:
→ Smoothie Base
01 - 1 ripe banana, sliced and frozen
02 - 1/2 cup frozen mango chunks
03 - 1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
04 - 1/2 cup coconut milk or almond milk for variation
05 - 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt for vegan option
06 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds
07 - 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup, optional to taste
→ Toppings
08 - 1/2 kiwi, peeled and sliced
09 - 1/4 cup fresh berries such as blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries
10 - 1/3 cup granola, gluten-free if needed
11 - 1 tablespoon unsweetened coconut flakes
12 - 1 tablespoon mixed seeds such as pumpkin, sunflower, flaxseed
13 - 1 tablespoon pomegranate seeds, optional
14 - Fresh mint leaves for garnish, optional
# Steps to Follow:
01 - In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen banana, mango, pineapple, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and honey or maple syrup (if using). Blend until thick and smooth. If needed, scrape down the sides and blend again, adding a splash more coconut milk only if necessary—the mixture should remain very thick.
02 - Pour the smoothie base into two bowls, spreading evenly with the back of a spoon.
03 - Artistically arrange kiwi slices, fresh berries, granola, coconut flakes, mixed seeds, and pomegranate seeds on top.
04 - Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately with a spoon.
