Ingredients
  

  • 1 ripe avocado, pitted and peeled
  • 1 frozen banana, sliced
  • 1/2 cup frozen pineapple or mango chunks
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup milk of choice (almond, oat, dairy), more as needed
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime or lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Sliced berries, kiwi, or banana
  • Granola or toasted oats
  • Chia seeds, hemp hearts, or flaxseed
  • Unsweetened coconut flakes
  • Crushed nuts (almonds, pistachios, walnuts)
  • Drizzle of nut butter or honey
  • Cacao nibs or dark chocolate shavings

Instructions
 

  • Prep your ingredients. Scoop the avocado and slice the frozen banana. Using frozen fruit keeps the bowl thick and cold without needing ice.
  • Add liquids first. Pour the milk into your blender, then add yogurt. This helps the blades catch and blend smoothly.
  • Blend the base. Add avocado, frozen banana, frozen pineapple or mango, honey or maple syrup, vanilla, citrus juice if using, and a pinch of salt. Blend on low, then increase to high until completely creamy.
  • Adjust thickness. If it’s too thick to blend, add milk a tablespoon at a time. For a bowl, aim for soft-serve thickness—thick enough to hold toppings.
  • Taste and balance. Add a bit more sweetener, citrus, or salt if needed. The salt should be barely noticeable; it just wakes up the flavors.
  • Serve immediately. Pour into a chilled bowl to keep it cold longer.
  • Top it off. Add crunchy granola, fresh fruit, seeds, and a drizzle of nut butter or honey. Keep toppings light so they don’t sink.
  • Enjoy right away. Smoothie bowls are best fresh, when the texture is thick and spoonable.
