Equipment
- High-Speed Blender
- Bowl
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries
- 1 medium banana preferably ripe for natural sweetness
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt choose plain or vanilla for added flavor
- 1/2 cup almond milk or any plant-based milk of your choice

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
- Gather all your ingredients. Using frozen berries helps create that thick, cold smoothie bowl texture. If your banana isn’t ripe yet, it’s best to wait or use a little extra honey or maple syrup to sweeten the bowl.
Step 2: Blend the Base
- In a high-speed blender, add the frozen mixed berries, medium banana, Greek yogurt, almond milk, and honey or maple syrup. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. You want the texture to be thick enough to eat with a spoon, so if it’s too runny, add a few more frozen berries or reduce the almond milk slightly.
Step 3: Pour Into a Bowl
- Once blended, pour the smoothie mixture into a bowl. Use a spatula to scrape every last bit out so you don’t waste any of this deliciousness.
Step 4: Add Your Toppings
- Now comes the fun part! Sprinkle the granola evenly over the top, then add fresh berries and banana slices. Finally, garnish with a sprinkle of chia seeds to add a nutritious crunch and visual appeal.
Step 5: Serve Immediately
- Smoothie bowls are best enjoyed fresh. Grab a spoon and dig right in for a refreshing, nutrient-packed start to your day.
Notes
- Use frozen berries to achieve the perfect thick and creamy texture.
- Add toppings just before serving to keep granola and chia seeds crunchy.
- Customize sweetness by adjusting honey or maple syrup based on your fruit's ripeness.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt.
- Prepare the smoothie base a day ahead and store in the fridge for a quick breakfast.
