Rainbow Smoothie Bowl Recipe Walkthrough
First, gather all your fruits: strawberries, mango, pineapple, kiwi, blueberries, and blackberries. If any of them are frozen, let them thaw slightly for easier blending. Toss these vibrant fruits into your blender. Add in the unsweetened almond milk; this will help everything blend smoothly. If you're in the mood for a little extra sweetness, drizzle in that optional tablespoon of honey.
Now, blend everything until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Check for consistency; if you prefer a thinner smoothie, add a splash more almond milk. Once your blend reaches the desired texture, pour it into a bowl. This is where the fun happens. Sprinkle the granola evenly over the top for that delightful crunch. Then, add a tablespoon of chia seeds for a nutritious boost. Finally, scatter the coconut flakes for a finishing touch. And there you have it, ready to be enjoyed!
