Smoothie bowl

📝 Ingredients

• 1 ripe banana (frozen = thicker, fresher texture)
• 80 g frozen berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
• 100 g Greek yogurt or skyr
• 40–50 ml plant milk (oat, almond) — just to help the blender
• 1 tbsp almond butter or protein powder (optional)
• Toppings: 2 tbsp granola, 1 tbsp desiccated coconut, a few fresh raspberries, banana slices, chia seeds

🍴 Utensils

• Powerful blender (essential)
• Wide, shallow bowl
• Spoon

📖 Steps

1. Take the fruit out of the freezer 3 min beforehand — just so the blender doesn't overheat. The base must stay ultra thick.
2. In the blender: frozen banana, berries, yogurt, milk and almond butter if using. Pulse first to break up the fruit, then blend continuously until thick and smooth.
3. The ideal consistency: thicker than a drinking smoothie, almost like softened ice cream. If too runny, add a little yogurt or more frozen fruit. If too thick, a splash of milk.
4. Pour into the bowl, tilting it slightly to create a smooth, gently domed surface — this gives you room for the toppings.
5. Work quickly: the base melts fast. Arrange the toppings in rows or colourful sections (granola on one side, fresh fruit in the centre, coconut around the edge).
6. Sprinkle the chia seeds on last.
7. Eat straight away with a spoon — the contrast between the cold base and the room-temperature toppings is part of the experience.
