# How To Make:

01 - Combine spinach, kale, frozen banana, mango, pineapple, almond milk, chia seeds, almond butter, and lime juice in a high-speed blender. Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed. Add additional almond milk if consistency is too thick.
02 - Pour the green smoothie mixture evenly between two serving bowls, using a spatula to transfer all contents from blender.
03 - Distribute toppings artistically over each bowl: strawberries, granola, shredded coconut, pumpkin seeds, blueberries, kiwi slices, and remaining chia seeds.
04 - Serve smoothie bowls right away with spoons while still thick and cold.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The frozen fruit creates an incredibly thick, ice cream like texture that makes every spoonful feel indulgent
  • You can prep everything the night before and blend in under two minutes for the fastest breakfast imaginable
02 -
  • The key to a bowl texture versus a drinkable smoothie is using frozen fruit and minimal liquid
  • Adding fresh toppings instead of blending them creates texture contrast that keeps every spoonful interesting
03 -
  • A tamper tool makes blending thick mixtures so much easier and prevents you from having to stop and scrape constantly
  • Freeze your greens in advance if you buy in bulk, they blend just as well and nothing goes to waste
