# What You'll Need:

→ Smoothie Base

01 - 2 frozen bananas, sliced
02 - 1 cup fresh spinach leaves, packed
03 - 1/2 ripe avocado
04 - 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
05 - 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
06 - 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
07 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey, optional
08 - 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ Toppings

09 - 1/4 cup kiwi, peeled and sliced
10 - 2 tablespoons granola
11 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds
12 - 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
13 - 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes

15 - Edible gold stars or sprinkles, optional

# How To Make:

01 - In a high-powered blender, combine frozen bananas, spinach, avocado, Greek yogurt, protein powder, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and thick, scraping down the sides as needed. Add additional almond milk if consistency is too thick.
02 - Pour the smoothie base into two bowls, spreading evenly with the back of a spoon to create a smooth, even surface.
03 - Arrange kiwi slices in a shamrock or clover shape on each bowl. Sprinkle granola, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, and coconut flakes around the decorative design.
04 - Top with fresh mint leaves and edible gold stars or sprinkles for festive presentation.
05 - Serve immediately with a spoon.

# Helpful Hints:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 10 minutes, so you're not spending your whole morning in the kitchen.
  • The blend of avocado and Greek yogurt creates this naturally creamy texture that feels indulgent without any strange additives.
  • You get to arrange the toppings however you want, which somehow makes eating breakfast feel like creating art.
02 -
  • Don't thaw the bananas thinking it'll blend easier—frozen bananas are what create that thick, spoonable consistency that makes a smoothie bowl different from a regular smoothie.
  • The protein powder you choose matters more than you'd think; some brands get chalky or bitter, so taste it in plain yogurt before committing to a whole bowl.
03 -
  • Freeze your bananas in slices rather than whole so they break down faster in the blender and you avoid that annoying stuck-in-the-center-while-the-rest-is-done situation.
  • Taste your blended base before dividing it into bowls; if it needs more sweetness or vanilla, add it now rather than trying to rescue it later.
