What you will need
This recipe uses 6 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1.5 cups frozen mixed berries
- 2 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 tbsp flaxseed meal
- 0.25 cup low sugar granola
- 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Blend the Base
Add Greek yogurt, frozen mixed berries, and peanut butter to a high speed blender. Blend on high for 30 to 45 seconds. The mixture should be very thick. If it cannot blend add one tablespoon of water at a time.
Step 2: Check Consistency
The smoothie bowl base should be thick enough to hold a spoon upright. If it is too thin add more frozen fruit or a few ice cubes and blend again briefly. Do not add too much liquid.
Step 3: Pour into Bowl
Pour or spoon the thick blended mixture into a wide shallow bowl. Smooth the surface with the back of a spoon to create a flat canvas for your toppings.
Step 4: Add Toppings and Serve
Sprinkle flaxseed meal, low sugar granola, and pumpkin seeds evenly over the surface. Add any additional fresh fruit, nut butter drizzles, or honey and serve immediately before it melts.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- peanut butter → almond butter or sunflower seed butter for nut free option
- frozen mixed berries → frozen mango and pineapple for a tropical variation
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Adding too much liquid which makes the smoothie bowl too runny to hold toppings on the surface
- Using room temperature fruit instead of frozen which results in a thin pourable smoothie instead of a thick bowl
