Ingredients
For the Smoothie Bowl:
- 1 frozen banana
- 1/2 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds (for a festive touch)
- 1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
Optional Toppings:
- Sliced banana
- Granola
- Chia seeds
- Coconut flakes
- Fresh mint leaves
- A sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg (for extra holiday flavor)
Instructions
Step 1: Blend the Ingredients
In a blender, combine the frozen banana, strawberries, raspberries, pomegranate seeds, and almond milk. Blend everything together until smooth and creamy. If needed, add a bit more almond milk to reach your desired consistency. The mixture should be thick enough to eat with a spoon.
Step 2: Assemble the Smoothie Bowl
Pour the blended smoothie into a bowl. Smooth it out with the back of a spoon for an even layer.
Step 3: Add the Toppings
Top your smoothie bowl with festive toppings. Add sliced bananas, granola, chia seeds, coconut flakes, and mint leaves. For an extra touch of holiday cheer, sprinkle some cinnamon or nutmeg on top.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Enjoy your smoothie bowl immediately. It’s a refreshing, nutrient-packed breakfast that will help you start your Christmas morning on a healthy note.
Notes
Adjust the Consistency:
If the smoothie is too thick, add more milk or a bit of water to thin it out. For a thicker texture, use less liquid or more frozen fruits.
Add Protein:
To make your smoothie bowl more filling, consider adding a scoop of protein powder or a tablespoon of almond butter.
Vegan Option:
This recipe is already dairy-free if you use plant-based milk. Keep it vegan by avoiding honey and using maple syrup or agave nectar for sweetness.
Make Ahead:
You can prepare the smoothie base in advance and store it in the fridge for up to 1 day. When ready to serve, top it with your favorite toppings.
