Ingredients

• Smoothie Base: 1 cup frozen strawberries, 1 frozen banana (sliced), 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice), 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or plant-based yogurt for vegan), 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste), 1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder
• Toppings: 1/2 cup fresh strawberries (sliced), 1/2 cup granola (gluten-free if needed), 2 tablespoons chia seeds, 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes, 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds, fresh mint leaves (optional)

Instructions

Step 1

In a blender, combine frozen strawberries, banana, almond milk, yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and matcha powder.

Step 2

Blend until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more almond milk and blend again.

Step 3

Pour the smoothie base into two bowls.

Step 4

Arrange toppings: top each bowl with fresh strawberries, granola, chia seeds, coconut flakes, pumpkin seeds, and mint leaves as desired.

Step 5

Serve immediately and enjoy with a spoon.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

For the best texture, use fruit that's been frozen for at least 4 hours or overnight. This ensures your smoothie bowl is thick enough to eat with a spoon rather than drink. If your blender struggles with frozen fruit, let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before blending, or add liquid gradually. Start with less almond milk than you think you need—you can always add more, but you can't take it away. When blending, use the tamper tool if your blender has one, or stop and scrape down the sides periodically to ensure everything gets incorporated evenly.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Make this recipe your own by substituting almond milk with oat, soy, or dairy milk based on your preference. For a vegan version, simply use plant-based yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey. Boost the protein content by adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder to the smoothie base. Experiment with different toppings like sliced banana, fresh blueberries, hemp seeds, or even a drizzle of nut butter. If you're avoiding gluten, ensure your granola is certified gluten-free, or replace it with toasted nuts or seeds for added crunch.

Serviervorschläge

This smoothie bowl shines as a standalone breakfast, but it also pairs beautifully with a warm cup of green tea or a shot of espresso for those who need an extra morning kick. Serve it in chilled bowls to keep the smoothie base cold longer, and arrange your toppings artfully in sections or rows for that café-worthy presentation. For a brunch gathering, set up a toppings bar with various fruits, nuts, seeds, and granola so guests can customize their own bowls. The recipe easily doubles or triples for meal prep—just store the blended base in airtight containers in the freezer and thaw slightly before topping and serving.
