Perfect for anyone looking to boost their morning routine with something nutritious, delicious, and satisfying.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup mixed frozen berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
  • 1 ripe banana, sliced
  • 1/2 avocado
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon flaxseeds
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
  • 1 tablespoon sunflower seeds
  • A handful of nuts (almonds, walnuts) for topping
  • Fresh berries for topping
  • Optional: A drizzle of honey or maple syrup for sweetness
  • Optional: A scoop of your favorite protein powder for an extra protein boost

Instructions

  1. Blend the Base: In a blender, combine frozen berries, banana, avocado, and almond milk. Blend until smooth and creamy. If you're adding protein powder, blend it with the other base ingredients.

  2. Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more milk until you reach your desired consistency. If it's too thin, you can add more frozen berries or a handful of ice cubes and blend again.

  3. Prepare the Toppings: While your base is blending, prepare your toppings. Slice any additional fresh berries you'll be using, and gather your seeds and nuts.

  4. Assemble the Bowl: Pour the smoothie mixture into a bowl. Arrange the fresh berries, chia seeds, flaxseeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and nuts on top of the smoothie base. For a touch of sweetness, drizzle with honey or maple syrup.

  5. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your smoothie bowl right away for the best texture and flavor.
