This Berry Smoothie Bowl is a vibrant, refreshing meal that combines the natural sweetness of berries with the creamy texture of a ripe banana. Perfect for breakfast or a snack, it’s a colorful way to add some fruit to your day.
The heart of this smoothie bowl is the frozen mixed berries. They keep the smoothie cold and thick while providing that sweet and tart berry flavor. A ripe banana adds creaminess and natural sweetness, balancing the tartness of the berries. Almond milk offers a dairy-free liquid base that complements the fruit without overpowering it. A touch of honey enhances the natural sweetness of the fruits. Chia seeds add a bit of crunch and a healthy dose of omega-3s. Finally, the toppings: granola for crunch and extra texture, and fresh strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries for a burst of fresh flavor and color.
Pair your smoothie bowl with a handful of nuts or a side of toast for a more filling meal. It’s also great with a drizzle of nut butter on top. If you’re feeling adventurous, sprinkle on some cacao nibs for a chocolatey crunch.
Start by grabbing your blender. Toss in the frozen mixed berries first, since they’ll be the hardest to blend. Then peel and break up your ripe banana into chunks and add it to the blender. Pour in the almond milk for a smooth blend, and add a tablespoon of honey for sweetness. Blend everything on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You might need to stop and scrape down the sides to make sure everything gets blended well.
Once your smoothie is ready, pour it into a bowl. You want it thick enough to hold your toppings without them sinking. Sprinkle the chia seeds across the top. Then, add a handful of granola for crunch. Layer on your fresh strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries in a way that looks appealing to you. The more colorful, the better!
That’s it! Serve it up immediately while it’s still nice and chilled. Dig in with a spoon and enjoy each bite with its mix of flavors and textures.
