ByEthan Lark January 18, 2026January 18, 2026

Introduction

This vibrant smoothie bowl is a delicious and nutritious way to start your day. Packed with frozen berries, banana, and protein powder, it offers a creamy texture and refreshing fruit toppings that make every bite delightful.

A thick, bright purple smoothie base fills a white bowl, topped with multiple layers of fresh fruit and nuts. Starting from the top left, there are scattered clusters of light brown granola mixed with green pumpkin seeds and nuts, including almonds and pistachios. Below and around the granola, there are fresh berries—bright red raspberries and dark blue blueberries. On the right side, thin slices of green kiwi are laid out with some granola on them. At the bottom of the bowl, there is a row of soft, pale yellow banana slices sprinkled lightly with granola and nuts. The bowl rests on a white marbled surface with a beige cloth and a cup of coffee in a white cup and saucer to the upper left, and a silver spoon to the lower right.

Ingredients

200g frozen mixed berries
1 ripe banana
75ml oat milk
1 tsp maple syrup
½ tbsp vanilla protein powder (vegan version if needed)
Sliced kiwis, bananas, and fresh berries (for topping)
25g granola
1 tbsp mixed nuts and seeds
1 tbsp almond butter

Instructions

Step 1: Place the frozen mixed berries, ripe banana, oat milk, maple syrup, and vanilla protein powder into a powerful blender.
Step 2: Blend until smooth, adding a splash more oat milk if needed, but keep the mixture quite thick for a good smoothie bowl texture.
Step 3: Spoon the smoothie mixture into a bowl.
Step 4: Arrange sliced kiwis, bananas, and fresh berries on top along with granola and mixed nuts and seeds.
Step 5: Drizzle with almond butter before serving for an extra creamy touch.

Tips & Variations

Use frozen banana instead of fresh for an even thicker texture.
Swap oat milk for almond or coconut milk if preferred.
Add a handful of spinach or kale for extra greens without affecting flavor significantly.
Try different nut butters like peanut or cashew to vary the taste.

Storage

It is best to enjoy the smoothie bowl immediately as fresh toppings can get soggy. If needed, store the smoothie base separately in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours and blend again lightly before serving. Fresh toppings should be added just before eating.

FAQs

Can I use other fruits instead of mixed berries?
