Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3/4 cup frozen banana slices
- 3/4 cup frozen strawberry slices
- 1/4 cup frozen Greek yogurt
- 1/4 tbsp spirulina powder
- 1 tbsp raw honey
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 4 tbsp warm water (for soaking chia seeds)
Toppings
- Shredded toasted coconut
- Hemp seeds
- Granola
- Fresh fruits (optional)
- Bee pollen
Instructions
- Soak the chia seeds: Begin by soaking 2 tablespoons of chia seeds in 4 tablespoons of warm water. This helps the seeds soften and develop a gel-like consistency that adds texture and nutritional benefits to the smoothie bowl.
- Blend the base: In a high-speed food processor or blender, combine the frozen banana slices, frozen strawberry slices, frozen Greek yogurt, 1/4 tablespoon spirulina powder, 1 tablespoon raw honey, and the soaked chia seeds with their water. Blend until smooth but still slightly textured so the chia seeds remain visible, indicating a thick and satisfying consistency.
- Serve and top: Pour the smoothie mixture into a bowl. Garnish generously with shredded toasted coconut, hemp seeds, granola, fresh fruits if desired, and a sprinkle of bee pollen. Enjoy immediately for the freshest taste and optimum nutritional benefits.
Notes
- Use frozen fruit and yogurt to achieve a thick, ice-cream-like texture without needing additional ice.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or substituting with another natural sweetener if preferred.
- Soaking the chia seeds beforehand is crucial to avoid a gritty texture.
- Feel free to swap toppings based on availability or personal preferences; nuts or seeds like almonds or pumpkin seeds would also be excellent choices.
- This smoothie bowl is best consumed fresh to retain maximum nutrients and texture.
