How to Make Green Smoothie Bowls

Follow these steps for each bowl:

1. Blend the Base

• Add all ingredients into a high-speed blender.
• Blend until smooth and creamy. Add more liquid slowly if it’s too thick.

2. Check the Texture

• It should be spoonable, not sippable.
• Add ice or frozen fruit to thicken, or a splash of liquid to thin.

3. Pour and Decorate

• Pour into a bowl and decorate with toppings you love.
• Serve immediately.

Topping Ideas for Green Smoothie Bowls

You can go classic or get creative, depending on the day! Here are my faves:

• Sliced banana
• Kiwi or mango chunks
• Chia seeds
• Hemp hearts
• Coconut flakes
• Granola or puffed quinoa
• Edible flowers (for Instagram-worthy bowls!)

Pro Tips for Thick Smoothie Bowls

• Always use frozen fruit (especially banana or mango)
• Add very little liquid at first — you can always add more
• A tamper blender like a Vitamix or Ninja makes a huge difference
• Blend in bursts, pausing to scrape down the sides if needed
