Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
To ensure a perfectly thick consistency, use frozen fruit rather than fresh fruit for the smoothie base. If your blender struggles, pulse the ingredients a few times before running it on high speed, adding a splash of extra milk only if necessary.
Varianten und Anpassungen
For a vegan-friendly version, simply substitute the Greek yogurt with a plant-based alternative like almond or coconut yogurt. You can also swap the toppings for seasonal fruits or add a drizzle of nut butter and cacao nibs for extra richness and depth of flavor.
Serviervorschläge
Serve this bowl immediately while it is still cold and thick. It pairs beautifully with a cup of green tea or black coffee. For an extra aesthetic touch, arrange the toppings in neat rows or a circular pattern to showcase the vibrant colors of the fresh berries and seeds.

Recipe Guide
- → Can I make this bowl ahead of time?
The smoothie base can be blended and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, though it may thicken. Add a splash of milk before serving to restore consistency. Add toppings just before eating to maintain their crunch.
- → What other fruits work well in this bowl?
Any frozen or fresh fruit blends beautifully. Try mango-pineapple for tropical vibes, strawberry-banana for classic flavors, or mixed berries with peach. Frozen fruit creates a thicker, creamier texture while fresh fruit adds brightness.
- → How can I increase the protein content?
Add a scoop of protein powder to the blender, stir in Greek yogurt powder, top with hemp seeds or pumpkin seeds alongside the chia, or add a tablespoon of nut butter. The base already provides 17g of protein per serving.
- → Is this suitable for meal prep?
Blend the base in batches and store in individual containers. Keep toppings separate in small containers or bags. When ready to eat, give the base a quick stir, pour into a bowl, and add your toppings for a quick breakfast.
- → Can I make this completely sugar-free?
Skip the honey or maple syrup entirely—the bananas and berries provide natural sweetness. Choose unsweetened coconut flakes and plain granola without added sugars. The fruit flavors will shine through beautifully.
