# What You Need:

→ Smoothie Base

01 - 2 frozen bananas, sliced
02 - 1 cup fresh spinach leaves, packed
03 - 1/2 ripe avocado
04 - 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt
05 - 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, plant-based or whey
06 - 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, plus additional as needed
07 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey, optional
08 - 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ Toppings

09 - 1/4 cup kiwi, peeled and sliced
10 - 2 tablespoons granola, gluten-free if needed
11 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds
12 - 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
13 - 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes
14 - Fresh mint leaves for garnish
15 - Edible gold stars or sprinkles, optional

# Steps:

01 - In a high-powered blender, combine frozen bananas, spinach, avocado, Greek yogurt, protein powder, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and thick, scraping down the sides as needed. Add additional almond milk if consistency is too thick.
02 - Divide smoothie mixture evenly between two serving bowls, using the back of a spoon to spread and create a smooth, level surface.
03 - Arrange kiwi slices in a shamrock or clover shape on top of each smoothie bowl.
04 - Sprinkle granola, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, and coconut flakes around the kiwi design.
05 - Top with fresh mint leaves and edible gold stars or sprinkles for festive decoration. Serve immediately with a spoon.

# Top Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes like you're eating dessert for breakfast, but you're actually fueling your body with real nutrition and protein that keeps you satisfied.
  • You can make it in under 10 minutes, which means even on busy mornings you get something that looks Instagram-worthy and feels special.
02 -
  • The moment you add the almond milk, your blender will do most of the work—resist the urge to add too much liquid at once because you can always add more, but you can't take it back, and a bowl that's too thin won't hold its shape.
  • If you're making this the morning of, blend everything first and then assemble your toppings right before serving, because the longer the base sits, the more the toppings sink in and lose their visual impact.
03 -
  • Invest in a truly high-powered blender for this one—a regular blender will struggle with frozen fruit and you'll end up with a chunky mixture that refuses to cooperate.
  • Make your kiwi shamrock the last thing you do, right before serving, because these slices oxidize and discolor if they sit on the wet base for too long, and the visual appeal is half the charm here.
