# How to Make:
01 - Combine spinach, frozen banana, pineapple chunks, mango chunks, almond milk, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and maple syrup or honey (if using) in a high-speed blender. Blend until thick, smooth, and creamy. Add a splash more almond milk if needed, but maintain a thick, spoonable consistency.
02 - Pour the blended smoothie base evenly into two serving bowls, ensuring thick texture is maintained.
03 - Arrange granola, kiwi slices, coconut flakes, pumpkin seeds, and fresh berries artfully on top of each smoothie bowl.
04 - Serve immediately with spoons while the smoothie base remains thick and cold.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The frozen fruit creates the most ridiculously thick and creamy base without needing any dairy or yogurt whatsoever
- You can customize the toppings based on whatever is in your pantry, making it feel different every single time
02 -
- Frozen banana is non-negotiable here as fresh banana will make the base thin and watery instead of thick and creamy
- The chia seeds will continue thickening if you let the smoothie sit, so serve immediately after blending
03 -
- A high-speed blender makes a huge difference in achieving that perfectly smooth texture without any leafy bits
- Start with less liquid than you think you need, since you can always add more but cannot take it away
