Exotic Smoothie Bowl (Printable Page)

# What You Need:

→ Smoothie Base

01 - 1 ripe banana, sliced and frozen
02 - 1/2 cup frozen mango chunks
03 - 1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
04 - 1/2 cup coconut milk or almond milk
05 - 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt
06 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds
07 - 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup, optional, to taste

→ Toppings

08 - 1/2 kiwi, peeled and sliced
09 - 1/4 cup fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries)
10 - 1/3 cup granola, gluten-free if needed
11 - 1 tablespoon unsweetened coconut flakes
12 - 1 tablespoon mixed seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, flaxseed)
13 - 1 tablespoon pomegranate seeds, optional
14 - Fresh mint leaves, optional, for garnish

# How to Make It:

01 - In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen banana, mango, pineapple, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and honey or maple syrup (if using).
02 - Blend until thick and smooth. If needed, scrape down the sides and blend again, adding a splash more coconut milk only if necessary—the mixture should remain very thick.
03 - Pour the smoothie base into two bowls, spreading evenly with the back of a spoon.
04 - Artistically arrange kiwi slices, fresh berries, granola, coconut flakes, mixed seeds, and pomegranate seeds on top.
05 - Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately with a spoon.

# Helpful Tips:

01 - For a vegan smoothie bowl, use dairy-free yogurt and maple syrup.
02 - Swap coconut milk for any plant-based milk of your choice.
03 - Try other tropical fruits like passionfruit or papaya for variation.
04 - Add a scoop of protein powder for an extra boost.
05 - Pair with a light white tea or fresh-pressed juice.
