Green Smoothie Bowl Toppings (Printable)

Nutrient-dense green smoothie base with tropical fruits and a colorful mix of crunchy, fresh toppings.

# What You Need:

→ Smoothie Base

01 - 1 cup fresh spinach leaves, packed
02 - 1/2 cup kale leaves, ribs removed
03 - 1 large ripe banana, frozen
04 - 1/2 cup frozen mango chunks
05 - 1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
06 - 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
07 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds
08 - 1 tablespoon almond butter, optional
09 - 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice, optional

→ Toppings

10 - 1/2 cup sliced fresh strawberries
11 - 1/2 cup granola
12 - 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
13 - 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
14 - 2 tablespoons fresh blueberries
15 - 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
16 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds

# Steps:

01 - Combine spinach, kale, frozen banana, mango, pineapple, almond milk, chia seeds, almond butter if using, and lime juice in a high-speed blender. Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as necessary. Add additional almond milk by the tablespoon if consistency is too thick.
02 - Divide the green smoothie mixture evenly between two serving bowls, using a spatula to scrape all contents from the blender.
03 - Arrange strawberries, granola, shredded coconut, pumpkin seeds, blueberries, kiwi slices, and remaining chia seeds over each bowl in sections or scattered pattern as desired.
04 - Serve immediately with spoons. The smoothie base will melt and thin out over time, so enjoy right away for optimal texture.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You get two servings of greens in something that tastes like tropical sunshine
  • The toppings make it feel like a treat instead of a healthy obligation
02 -
  • The frozen fruit is non-negotiable for achieving that thick, spoonable texture
  • Your blender needs to be powerful enough to completely break down the kale ribs or you will get bitter chunks
03 -
  • Pre-portion your frozen fruit into freezer bags so you can just dump and blend on busy mornings
  • Use really ripe bananas for natural sweetness without any added sugar
