Frozen berries work great too! Just thaw them slightly before using.

Avocado Smoothie Bowl Recipe Walkthrough

Start by scooping the flesh of a ripe avocado into your blender. Add in a peeled banana, making sure it's ripe to ensure optimal sweetness and creaminess. Pour in half a cup of coconut milk. If you're aiming for a thicker consistency, you might want to start with a little less and add more as needed.

Next, drizzle in a tablespoon of honey and add half a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Blend these ingredients together until you have a smooth, luscious mixture. If it's too thick, feel free to add a splash more of coconut milk to reach your desired consistency.

Once blended, pour the smoothie into a bowl. Now, the fun part — toppings! Sprinkle on a quarter cup of granola for crunch, followed by two tablespoons of mixed nuts for added texture and flavor. Add a tablespoon of chia seeds for a nutrient boost, and finish with a quarter cup of fresh berries for a burst of color and tartness. Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh flavors and satisfying textures.
