# Directions:
01 - Combine spinach, kale, frozen banana, frozen mango, frozen pineapple, almond milk, chia seeds, almond butter, and lime juice in a high-speed blender. Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. Add additional almond milk by tablespoons if consistency is too thick.
02 - Pour the blended green smoothie mixture evenly between two serving bowls, using a spatula to transfer all contents from the blender.
03 - Arrange toppings artistically over each bowl: sliced strawberries, granola, shredded coconut, pumpkin seeds, fresh blueberries, kiwi slices, and additional chia seeds. Distribute toppings evenly between servings.
04 - Serve immediately with spoons while the smoothie base retains its thick, frozen texture. Enjoy the combination of creamy green smoothie and crunchy toppings.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- Its basically a cold soup that counts as breakfast, which feels delightfully rebellious
- The toppings make you feel like an artist even if you cant draw a straight line
02 -
- A too thick mixture is easier to fix than too thin, so start with less liquid
- Work quickly once poured, as the frozen base starts melting faster than you expect
03 -
- Fruit must be frozen for proper thickness, fresh fruit makes a disappointingly thin bowl
- Pre portion toppings the night before for an impossibly fast weekday morning
