Ingredients
Smoothie Base
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 large ripe kiwi, peeled and chopped
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any preferred milk)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings
- 1/4 cup granola
- 4–5 fresh strawberry slices
- 1 kiwi, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the fruits: Wash and hull the strawberries, peel and chop the kiwi into pieces suitable for blending. Set aside a few slices of strawberries and kiwi for topping later.
- Blend the smoothie base: In a blender, combine the fresh strawberries, chopped kiwi, Greek yogurt, almond milk, honey (if using), and vanilla extract. Blend on high speed until smooth and thick. The texture should be thicker than a typical smoothie to hold up well as a bowl.
- Adjust consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk and blend again briefly. If it is too thin, add a few ice cubes or more yogurt to thicken.
- Assemble the smoothie bowl: Pour the smoothie mixture into a bowl. Arrange the granola, fresh strawberry slices, kiwi slices, and sprinkle chia seeds evenly on top for added crunch and nutrition.
- Serve immediately: Enjoy your fresh and colorful Strawberry Kiwi Smoothie Bowl right away to benefit from the fresh ingredients and crisp toppings.
Notes
- Use frozen strawberries or kiwi if fresh fruit is not available, but adjust liquid to maintain thickness.
- Honey or syrup is optional; adjust sweetness to your preference or substitute with a natural sweetener.
- Greek yogurt can be swapped for a plant-based yogurt to make this bowl vegan.
- Feel free to add other toppings such as coconut flakes, nuts, or seeds to customize your bowl.
- For extra protein, mix in a scoop of protein powder before blending.
