mixed fruits (berries, mango, banana, pineapple)
banana (for creaminess)
milk (dairy or plant-based)
yogurt (optional)
honey or maple syrup (optional)
ice cubes

granola
fresh fruit slices
nuts or seeds
coconut flakes (optional)

Directions

I start by adding the mixed fruits, banana, milk, and yogurt into a blender.

I blend everything until thick and smooth. If I want a thicker consistency, I add ice or extra frozen fruit and blend again.

I taste the mixture and add honey or maple syrup if I want extra sweetness.

I pour the smoothie into a bowl and smooth the top.

I add toppings like granola, fresh fruit slices, nuts, and coconut flakes.

I serve immediately.

Preparation takes around 10 minutes, and there’s no cooking required.

Variations

I sometimes add spinach or kale for extra nutrients without affecting the flavor much. If I want more protein, I include protein powder, nut butter, or extra yogurt. I can also experiment with different fruit combinations to change the taste.

storage/reheating

I prefer eating this smoothie bowl fresh, but I can store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. I stir it well before eating. I don’t reheat it since it’s meant to be served cold.
