Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1 cup frozen mango chunks
  • 1 small ripe banana, frozen and sliced
  • 1 kiwi, peeled and chopped (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 packed cup baby spinach (or half spinach, half kale)
  • 1/4 ripe avocado
  • 1/2 cup coconut water (or unsweetened almond milk)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flaxseed
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • Optional add-ins: 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1 teaspoon spirulina, 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • Toppings: sliced kiwi or banana, fresh pineapple, granola, coconut flakes, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, cacao nibs, or a drizzle of nut butter

Method
 

  1. Prep the base: Add coconut water (or almond milk) to your blender first. This helps the blades catch and blend smoothly.
  2. Layer the greens: Add spinach on top of the liquid, followed by avocado. The greens blend easier when closer to the blade.
  3. Add the frozen fruit: Toss in pineapple, mango, banana, and the kiwi. Keep most of the fruit frozen for that thick, scoopable texture.
  4. Boost it: Sprinkle in chia (or flax), shredded coconut, and add lime juice. If using protein powder or spirulina, add it now.
  5. Blend low and slow: Start on low, then increase speed. Use a tamper if you have one. If it’s too thick to blend, add liquid 1 tablespoon at a time.
  6. Check the texture: You want a thick, soft-serve consistency. Taste and adjust sweetness with a little honey or maple syrup if desired.
  7. Serve and top: Spoon into a bowl. Add your favorite toppings—granola for crunch, fresh fruit for brightness, seeds for extra protein, and a little coconut for texture.
  8. Enjoy right away: Smoothie bowls are best cold and thick, so serve as soon as it’s blended.
