03 - Arrange granola, kiwi slices, coconut flakes, pumpkin seeds, and fresh berries in an attractive pattern over the surface of each smoothie bowl.
04 - Serve immediately with spoons while the smoothie base remains thick and cold.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It tastes like a tropical vacation while delivering two cups of greens without any bitterness
- The toppings transform it from breakfast into something that feels like an edible art project
02 -
- If your blender is struggling, add just one tablespoon of almond milk at a time until it catches
- The mixture needs to be thicker than you think or your toppings will sink straight to the bottom
03 -
- Freeze your serving bowls for 10 minutes beforehand to keep the base cold longer
- Preportion toppings into small containers while the blender is running for faster assembly
