Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to create this delicious smoothie bowl:

For the Smoothie:

• 2 frozen bananas (peeled before freezing)
• 1 frozen orange (peeled and segmented before freezing)
• 1 cup frozen raspberries
• 1 tbsp orange zest
• 1/2 to 1 cup plant-based milk (adjust based on desired thickness)

How to Make Your Raspberry Orange Smoothie Bowl

Making this smoothie bowl is as easy as 1-2-3! Here’s how to do it:

1. Blend the Ingredients:
   • Start by adding the frozen bananas, orange segments, raspberries, orange zest, and your choice of plant-based milk into a high-speed blender.
   • Blend on high until everything is smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thicker consistency, use less milk; for a thinner smoothie, add a bit more.
2. Serve:
   • Once blended, pour the smoothie into a bowl. The thick, creamy consistency is perfect for holding all your favorite toppings.
3. Add Toppings & Enjoy:
   • Now comes the fun part—toppings! Add a generous handful of granola, a sprinkle of coconut flakes, a drizzle of nut butter, or any other toppings you love. Grab a spoon and dig in!

Pro Tips:

• Freeze Ahead: Always peel and freeze your bananas and oranges ahead of time. It makes the process so much quicker, especially on busy mornings.
• Consistency Control: If you’re in the mood for a drinkable smoothie instead, feel free to use fresh fruit and a bit more plant-based milk.
