Breakfast Smoothie Bowl (Printable Version)

A creamy blend of frozen fruits and yogurt topped with granola, fresh fruit, and nutritious seeds for a satisfying breakfast.

# Ingredients:

→ Smoothie Base

01 - 1 frozen banana
02 - 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
03 - 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt
04 - 1/4 cup milk of choice (almond, oat, dairy)
05 - 1 tablespoon nut butter (peanut, almond, or cashew)
06 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
07 - 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

→ Toppings

08 - 1/4 cup granola
09 - Sliced fresh fruit (banana, kiwi, mango, or berries)
10 - 1 teaspoon chia seeds or flaxseeds
11 - 1 tablespoon coconut flakes
12 - Drizzle of nut butter

# Steps:

01 - Ensure your banana is frozen for optimal texture. If using fresh, slice and freeze for at least 2 hours before blending.
02 - In a high-speed blender, combine frozen banana, frozen mixed berries, Greek yogurt, milk, nut butter, and vanilla extract. Add honey or maple syrup if desired for additional sweetness.
03 - Blend on low speed, gradually increasing to medium. Add minimal additional milk if mixture is too thick to blend, maintaining a spoonable consistency.
04 - Ensure smoothie is thick and creamy, not runny. If too thin, incorporate additional frozen berries or ice cubes and blend again.
05 - Spoon the smoothie mixture into a bowl, using the back of the spoon to create an even surface.
06 - Garnish with granola, sliced fresh fruit, chia or flaxseeds, coconut flakes, and a drizzle of nut butter as desired.
07 - Enjoy the smoothie bowl promptly while thick and cold for optimal texture and flavor.

# Notes:

01 - For best results, consume immediately after preparation to maintain ideal temperature and consistency.
02 - The thickness of the smoothie base is crucial - it should be spoonable rather than drinkable.
