Instructions

Prepare the Fruit: Wash the strawberries and kiwis thoroughly. Hull the strawberries and peel the kiwis. Slice the kiwis and a few strawberries thinly for toppings and set aside.
Blend the Smoothie Base: In a high-speed blender, combine the fresh strawberries, kiwi slices (except those reserved for toppings), frozen banana, Greek yogurt, almond milk, and honey or maple syrup if using. Blend until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides if necessary to ensure even blending.
Adjust Consistency: Check the consistency of the smoothie. If it’s too thick, add a little more almond milk and blend again until you reach your desired texture for spooning.
Assemble the Smoothie Bowl: Pour the smoothie into a bowl, spreading it evenly. Arrange the sliced strawberries, kiwi slices, granola, chia seeds, and shredded coconut decoratively over the top for added texture and flavor.
Serve Immediately: Enjoy your fresh and delicious Strawberry Kiwi Smoothie Bowl right away to benefit from the best flavor and texture.

Notes

For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey.
You can substitute frozen banana with avocado for a creamier texture.
Add a handful of spinach or kale for a green boost without altering the taste significantly.
Use fresh fruit whenever possible for the best flavor, but frozen fruit can substitute in a pinch.
Adjust sweetness to your preference by varying the amount of honey or syrup.
