Print Recipe

A quick and easy green smoothie bowl featuring ripe banana, fresh spinach, tangy kiwi, and chia seeds for a nutritious and refreshing breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves, loosely packed
  • 1 medium ripe banana, frozen or fresh
  • 2 medium kiwi fruits, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (120 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • Ice cubes (a few, optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel the kiwis and slice them into halves or quarters depending on size. Set aside a few slices for topping later.
  2. Rinse about 2 cups of fresh spinach leaves under cold water to remove any grit. Spin dry or pat with a towel.
  3. Add the spinach, frozen or fresh banana, 1 ½ peeled kiwis, almond milk, chia seeds, lime juice, and honey or maple syrup if using into a high-speed blender. Add a few ice cubes if you want it extra cold and thick.
  4. Blend starting on low speed, then ramp up to high. Blend for about 45 seconds to 1 minute, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. The mixture should be thick but smooth enough to scoop easily. If too thick, add a splash more almond milk.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness with a little extra honey or lime juice if needed.
  6. Pour the smoothie mixture into a serving bowl. Arrange reserved kiwi slices on top, then sprinkle extra chia seeds or nuts if desired. Fresh mint leaves or coconut flakes also work well.
  7. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

Use frozen banana for creamier texture. Soak chia seeds in almond milk for 5 minutes before blending if your blender struggles with them. Prepare and eat immediately for best texture. Substitute oat or rice milk for nut-free version. Kiwi can be swapped with green grapes or frozen green mango chunks.
