Tips & Variations

Use kale instead of spinach for a stronger green flavor and extra nutrients.
Swap Greek yogurt for a plant-based alternative to keep it vegan.
Add a scoop of protein powder for an extra energy boost.
Try different toppings like nuts, seeds, or other fresh fruits to customize your bowl.

Storage

This smoothie bowl is best enjoyed fresh. If you need to store leftovers, keep the smoothie base in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Stir well before serving. Toppings should be added just before eating to maintain their texture and freshness.

How to Serve

A green smoothie bowl with a thick, creamy texture fills a white bowl with a green speckled pattern and a thin gold rim. The smoothie is a rich dark green layer that covers the entire bowl. On top, three banana slices sit in a neat row on one side, next to a line of crunchy granola that has light brown oats and small white clusters. Fresh spinach leaves rest to the left of the granola, adding a fresh green touch. In the background, there is another identical bowl with the same layered contents, blurred out, along with two halved kiwis and a jar of milk on a white marbled surface.

FAQs

Can I use fresh banana instead of frozen?

Yes, but using frozen banana helps create a thicker and creamier texture. If using fresh banana, consider adding some ice cubes to chill and thicken the smoothie.
