Instructions
- Add ingredients to blender: Place all your chosen smoothie ingredients into a high-speed blender. This includes your frozen fruits, coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract if using. Ensure the blender jar is securely attached.
- Blend thoroughly: Blend on high speed for about 3 minutes. Pause occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula to ensure everything mixes evenly. Continue blending until the mixture achieves a thick, soft-serve ice cream-like consistency.
- Serve and top: Pour the blended smoothie into a bowl. Add your preferred toppings such as sliced fresh fruit, nuts, nut butter, seeds, cacao nibs, coconut flakes, or granola to enhance texture and flavor before serving.
Notes
- Using frozen fruits helps achieve the creamy, thick texture ideal for smoothie bowls.
- You can substitute coconut milk with almond milk or other plant-based milks if preferred.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or skipping it altogether if your fruits are ripe.
- To keep the smoothie bowls extra cold, chill the serving bowls ahead of time.
- For added protein, consider adding a scoop of protein powder or a spoonful of nut butter.
