Instructions:

Prep the Ingredients: Start by washing and chopping all the fruits and vegetables. Peel and slice the mango, hull the strawberries, dice the beetroot, and slice the cucumber and celery. Cut the broccoli into florets, and chop the spinach.
-
-
Set Aside Toppings: Set aside the coconut cream, mint leaves, and sliced kiwi for garnishing. These will add a fresh and creamy touch to your smoothie bowl.
-
Blend the Base: Add all the prepared fruits and vegetables, including the frozen banana, mango, cucumber, spinach, broccoli, strawberries, beetroot, and celery, into a high-speed blender. Add the flax seed powder, lemon juice, and tender coconut water to the mix. Blend everything until smooth and creamy, adjusting the consistency with ice cubes if necessary. The mixture should be thick and smooth, perfect for spooning into a bowl.
-
Assemble the Smoothie Bowl: Pour the blended mixture into two bowls, dividing the smoothie evenly between them. Swirl in the coconut cream for added richness and creaminess.
-
Garnish: Top the smoothie bowl with fresh mint leaves and sliced kiwi for a burst of color and freshness. You can also add any additional fruit toppings of your choice, like berries, banana slices, or granola, to enhance the texture and flavor.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your Red Smoothie Bowl as a wholesome breakfast or snack. Alternatively, you can serve it as a smoothie if you prefer a lighter version.
Tips for the Best Smoothie Bowl:
- Frozen Fruits: Using frozen fruits like bananas helps to create a thick, creamy texture that’s perfect for smoothie bowls.
- Add Protein: For an extra protein boost, you can add a spoonful of protein powder, Greek yogurt, or a handful of nuts to your smoothie blend.
- Customizable: Feel free to customize the bowl with other toppings such as chia seeds, shredded coconut, or granola for some crunch and added nutrients.
- Sweeten Naturally: If you prefer a sweeter smoothie bowl, feel free to add a natural sweetener like honey, maple syrup, or stevia, but remember the fruits already provide plenty of natural sweetness!
This Red Smoothie Bowl is not only visually stunning but packed with a variety of nutrients to help fuel your day. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a post-workout snack, it’s a versatile, healthy option that’s as tasty as it is nutritious.
