How to make Green Smoothie Bowl
- Load up the blender. Place the following ingredients in order: coconut milk, spinach, avocado, honey, vanilla extract, lime juice, lime zest, banana, pineapple, and mango. Add half a cup of water afterward.
- Mix ingredients in the blender. Once all ingredients are placed inside, start the blender on low speed. Scrape the sides occasionally while gradually speeding it up until it becomes thick and creamy.
- Assemble then serve. Once it reaches the desired consistency, place it in a bowl and top with preferred toppings. Afterward, serve.
How do you thicken a Smoothie bowl?
To get that thick consistency, make sure to use frozen fruits and don’t overpour water or other liquids. Adding chia or flax seeds not only helps thicken it but provides additional nutrients.
Best Smoothie Bowl Toppings:
- Sliced fruits: Banana, pineapple, plum, coconut, avocado, and mango.
- Berries: Raspberry and blueberry.
- Seeds: Flax, chia, and hemp.
- Nuts: Granola, almond, pecan, and macadamia.
- Herbs: Mint, cinnamon, parsley, and basil.
Can you make it in advance?
Absolutely. This dish is great for those who prefer to meal prep and save time. To store this, you may want to place the solid ingredients in a zipper storage bag for convenience.
However, you can also make it and store it in a glass container with a tight lid before placing it in a fridge. If you find it watery, just add frozen fruits to increase thickness.

Recipe Tips:
- If you are adding flax and chia seeds, you have to wait for at least 10 minutes. This helps it settle for it to turn gelatinous, thus making the drink thicker.
- You can also use other kinds of milk such as soy and almond if you don’t have coconut milk. Pick an unsweetened variety to maintain healthiness.
- Adding a tablespoon of Greek yogurt also increases nutrition and thickness.
- If you want this drink to have a little more kick and help increase your energy, you can add mint and ginger. This is great and effective especially if you are taking this drink for breakfast.
- To help maintain consistency, you should chill your bowl at least 20 minutes before making this recipe. This helps avoid the drink from melting too quickly.
- Layer the toppings symmetrically to get that Instagram worthy picture!
