- 2 tablespoons unsweetened vanilla almond or cashew milk (more or less depending on desired consistency)
- 1-2 tablespoons chia seeds (hemp seeds or ground flax optional)
- Stevia or other sweetener as needed for extra sweetness
Berry Smoothie Bowl
- 2 cups frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries)
- 1/2 banana, cut into slices and frozen (optional)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (plain or flavored)
- 1-2 tablespoons chia seeds (hemp seeds or ground flax optional)

Tropical Smoothie Bowl

Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: For any of the smoothie bowl variations, place all the ingredients into a blender. Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth. Periodically stop the blender to scrape down the sides to ensure even blending.
- Adjust Consistency: If the mixture is too thick or not blending smoothly, gradually add 1 tablespoon of liquid at a time until you reach the desired consistency. To thicken, add more frozen fruit or up to 3/4 cup of frozen cauliflower without affecting the taste. Aim for a very thick smoothie bowl texture.
- Sweeten to Taste: Taste the smoothie mixture and add stevia or your preferred sweetener as desired to enhance sweetness.
- Serve and Top: Pour the smoothie mixture into a bowl. Add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit slices, nuts, seeds, shredded coconut, nut butter, or granola. For optimal texture, consume immediately.
Notes
- Use frozen fruit to achieve a thick and creamy texture.
- Adding frozen cauliflower is a clever way to thicken without altering flavor or nutrition significantly.
- Choose your plant-based milk or liquid based on flavor preference and dietary needs.
- Sweetener is optional and can be adjusted to taste depending on the natural sweetness of your fruits.
- Fresh toppings add texture and additional nutrients; customize according to your diet.
