Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients:
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Use frozen fruit for a thick, creamy texture.
Blend the Base:
- In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen banana, mixed berries, frozen mango, and almond milk. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Add almond butter or chia seeds if you prefer a richer texture or additional nutrients.
Check the Consistency:
- If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more almond milk to reach the desired consistency. If it's too runny, add a little more frozen fruit.
Assemble the Bowl:
- Pour the smoothie mixture into a shallow bowl, spreading it out evenly with the back of a spoon.
Add Toppings:
- Top your smoothie bowl with granola, fresh berries, shredded coconut, hemp seeds, and any other toppings you like.
Serve Immediately:
- Enjoy your delicious and nutritious Vegan Smoothie Bowl right away for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Adjust sweetness: If you'd like a sweeter smoothie bowl, you can add a drizzle of maple syrup or agave.
- Texture adjustments: The thickness of the bowl depends on how frozen your ingredients are and the amount of liquid you use. Play around with the consistency until it's just right.
- Storage: It’s best to enjoy the smoothie bowl immediately. However, if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for a few hours—though the texture may change slightly.
- Topping options: Get creative with toppings! Consider adding other seeds like pumpkin or sunflower, fresh coconut, or even a handful of oats.
