Ingredients you need

This smoothie bowl starts off with our favorite green smoothie recipe as a base and takes less than 5 minutes to make in a high-speed blender.

• Organic baby spinach – loosely packed. Feel free to add some kale too for extra nutrients and vitamins.
• Water or dairy-free milk of choice
• Lemon juice
• Fresh ginger root – helps aid in digestion.
• Hemp seeds- for added fiber and protein. Sub with chia seeds , ground flax seeds or use a mix. Or you can also add a scoop of plant-based protein powder – we like Sprout Living Simply Organic Pea Protein or Nuzest Clean Lean Protein in Just Natural
• Sliced oranges – about a 1/4 cup
• Frozen mango chunks – adds sweetness and flavor
• Pineapple chunks –  fresh or frozen. We typically buy fresh and chop them up and then freeze them

Healthy Smoothie Bowl Toppings

Feel free to have some fun with the toppings – they’re the best part! Anything you like will totally work!

For this bowl we used:

• Sliced bananas
• Chopped pineapple
• Fresh berries: strawberries and raspberries but blueberries or blackberries would be delicious
• Coconut flakes
• Shredded coconut
• Chia seeds
• Pistachios

More Delicious Smoothie Topping Ideas

• Sliced or chopped fruit: peaches, cherries
• Pomegranate seeds
• Nuts: sliced almonds, crushed pecans, walnuts
• Seeds: sunflower seeds, pumpkin seed (pepitas), hemp seeds, ground flaxseeds
• Your favorite nut butter or seed butters: almond butter, pecan butter, peanut butter or cashew butter

How to make Green Smoothie Bowl

1. Blend the ingredients: Place all the ingredients in a high speed blender in order as they appear starting with the liquid. Blend until smooth, adding additional liquid as needed. (As little as necessary so your smoothie will be thick).
2. Add toppings: Pour into bowls, top with your choice of toppings and arrange decoratively. Serve immediately, and enjoy!

Smoothie Variations

You can also change up these easy smoothie recipes with any add-in choices that you like:

• Coconut water
• Matcha powder or brewed green tea
• Cacao powder
• Avocado – for creaminess and healthy fats
• Dairy-free plant-based milk: almond milk, coconut milk, soy milk or oat milk
• Ripe frozen banana (adds thickness as well)
• Water kefir
• Celery – chopped
• Cauliflower – adds bulk
• Zucchini

If NOT Whole30, paleo & dairy is okay:

• Dairy-free yogurt. Or plain yogurt, Greek yogurt or vanilla yogurt – add to the freezer for 20 minutes and it tastes just like ice cream
• Nut butter: Peanut butter, almond butter or sunflower seed butter for extra added protein
• Oats for extra staying power

Make ahead and storage tips

If you prefer to make your fruit smoothies ahead of time, blend all the ingredients and store in a mason jar and cover with the lid. Smoothies will typically keep in the fridge for 1-2 days. You may notice that the liquid separates so you can either shake the smoothie together or re-blend again.

How to freeze smoothies

If you prefer to store your blended green smoothies in the freezer, you can portion them out into ice cubes until frozen. Then pop the smoothie cubes out and store in a clear resealable bag or Stasher bag for up to 3 months.

Then when you’re drink your breakfast smoothie, simply thaw in the fridge about an hour beforehand in a glass cup.

You can also freeze the smoothies in a mason jar for up to 3 months. Be sure not fill the mason jar all the way to the top, otherwise, the jar can shatter. When you’re ready to drink your healthy smoothie, thaw the mason jar in the fridge the night before or a few hours beforehand.
