Instructions
Combine the frozen fruit and milk in a blender cup. Blend the ingredients until smooth.
If the smoothie is too thick, adjust the consistency by adding more milk. If it is too runny, then add some ice cubes.
Prep the toppings by washing, peeling, and slicing as needed. Remove any berry stems.
Pour the smoothie into a bowl and layer toppings in a slight curve along the side of the bowl, moving in toward the center with each ingredient. Slightly overlap each addition.
Serve immediately.
Notes
Ice waters things down, so skip it unless you need to thin the texture.
Pop your bowl in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes before serving to keep your smoothie colder longer and to help hold toppings in place.
Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder, Greek yogurt, or silken tofu to the base to turn it into a more filling meal.
Use a combo of crunchy, juicy, and creamy toppings for the best texture contrast like granola, chocolate chips, nut butter, coconut flakes - go wild and make every bowl feel brand new.
If it’s too tart, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. Too sweet? A splash of lemon juice can brighten it up.
Serve: Serve as is or with a boiled egg for extra protein. For something heartier, pair it with a slice of whole grain toast or quick bread, or a warm muffin.Store: Place leftovers in an airtight container (like a mason jar or reusable bowl with a lid) and consume within 12 to 24 hours, as the toppings can get soggy. If possible, store the base separately and add fresh toppings right before eating.
