Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Raspberries: 1 cup 240 ml
  • Coconut milk: 1 cup 240 ml
  • Unsweetened shredded coconut: 2 tablespoons 30 ml
  • Banana: 1 peeled and sliced
  • Chia seeds: 1 tablespoon 15 ml
  • Honey: 2 teaspoons 10 ml [optional for sweetness]
  • Ice cubes: 1/2 cup 120 ml

Method
 

  1. Begin by rinsing your raspberries under cold water. Drain them well and keep them aside.
  2. In a powerful blender, toss in your washed raspberries, creamy coconut milk, and half of the banana slices.
  3. To that mixture, add the chia seeds, giving a touch of texture and a bunch of nutrients to your Raspberry and Coconut Smoothie Bowl.
  4. If you like your smoothie bowl a tad sweeter, now’s the time to pour in that optional honey.
  5. Plop in those chilly ice cubes, ensuring your blend turns out cool and refreshing.
  6. Hit blend! Allow the machine to work its magic until you see a smooth and even consistency.
  7. Once blended, pour your mixture into two bowls.

Notes

Fresh is best! However, if raspberries are out of season, frozen raspberries can be a great substitute. Just remember to thaw them slightly before blending.
For an added crunch, sprinkle some granola on top of your Raspberry and Coconut Smoothie Bowl before serving.
Don’t have honey? Maple syrup or agave nectar can work as sweet alternatives.
Keep an eye on your blender’s consistency. If it’s too thick, add a splash more coconut milk. Too runny? Toss in a couple more ice cubes or raspberries.
Garnish your Raspberry and Coconut Smoothie Bowl with the remaining banana slices.
Sprinkle the shredded coconut generously on top, adding an extra dimension of flavor.
For an Instagram-worthy presentation, arrange a few fresh raspberries on the side.
And for those who love a bit of texture, a handful of nuts or seeds can elevate the experience. Think almonds, sunflower seeds, or even some flaxseeds.
