Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 banana
- 1 kiwi
- 1/2 cup mixed berries
- 1/2 cup coconut water
- Granola for topping
- Kiwi slices for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of fresh spinach, 1 ripe banana, 1 kiwi, 1/2 cup of mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries), 1/2 cup of coconut water, granola for topping, and extra kiwi slices for garnish.
- Wash the spinach thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or impurities. Shake off excess water or use a salad spinner to dry it.
- Peel the banana and cut it into smaller chunks for easier blending. Set aside.
- Peel the kiwi and slice it in half. Scoop out the flesh with a spoon and cut it into smaller pieces. Reserve a few slices for garnish.
- In a blender, combine the washed spinach, banana chunks, kiwi pieces, mixed berries, and coconut water. Make sure to add the coconut water last to help with blending.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a little more coconut water to reach your desired consistency.
- Once blended, taste the smoothie. If you prefer it sweeter, you can add a drizzle of honey or a splash of maple syrup, then blend again to combine.
- Pour the smoothie mixture into two bowls, dividing it evenly.
- Top each smoothie bowl with a generous amount of granola, spreading it evenly across the surface.
- Garnish with the reserved kiwi slices and any additional berries you may have left. You can also add a sprinkle of chia seeds or coconut flakes for extra texture and nutrition.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing and nutritious Berry Kiwi Smoothie Bowl!
Tips
- Choose Ripe Fruits: For the best flavor, use ripe bananas and kiwis. They should feel slightly soft to the touch, indicating they’re sweet and ready to blend.
- Customize Your Ingredients: Feel free to switch up the mixed berries based on your preference or what’s in season. Strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries all work wonderfully!
- Adjust the Consistency: If you like a thicker smoothie bowl, use less coconut water. For a thinner consistency, gradually add more until you reach your desired texture.
- Add Extra Nutrients: Boost the nutritional value by adding a tablespoon of chia seeds, flaxseeds, or protein powder to the blender before mixing.
- Experiment with Toppings: Don’t be shy with the toppings! Besides granola and kiwi slices, consider adding nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, or even a drizzle of nut butter for added flavor and crunch.
- Make It Ahead: You can prepare the smoothie base the night before and store it in the fridge. Just give it a good stir before serving and add your toppings for a quick breakfast.
- Serve Immediately: For the best taste and texture, serve your smoothie bowl right after preparing it to enjoy the freshness of the ingredients.
