How To Make the Blueberry Smoothie Bowl
Step 1: Prep the Fruit
Peel and slice the banana before freezing it. Using frozen fruit ensures a thicker and creamier base.
Step 2: Blend the Base
In a high-speed blender, combine frozen blueberries, banana, Greek yogurt, and almond milk. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Adjust the Texture
If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of almond milk. For extra thickness, add more frozen fruit or a few ice cubes.
Step 4: Pour and Decorat
Pour the smoothie into a bowl and add your favorite toppings—fresh fruit, granola, chia seeds, or coconut for crunch and flavor.
Step 5: Serve Immediately
Enjoy your smoothie bowl right away for the best texture and flavor.
Serving and Storing Your Blueberry Smoothie Bowl
Smoothie bowls are best served immediately. If you need to store it, keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours, but note that the texture will soften.
