Ingredients:

For the Smoothie Base:

1 cup unsweetened kefir or plain Greek yogurt (for probiotics)

1 frozen banana

½ cup frozen blueberries

½ avocado or 2 tablespoons chia seeds (for healthy fats + soluble fiber)

1 tablespoon ground flaxseed

½ teaspoon ground ginger or grated fresh ginger

½–1 cup water or unsweetened almond milk, depending on desired thickness

Toppings (optional but recommended):

Sliced kiwi (great natural laxative)

Fresh berries

Pumpkin seeds or hemp seeds

A sprinkle of granola

Drizzle of honey or maple syrup

Instructions:

Blend the base: Add kefir (or yogurt), frozen banana, blueberries, avocado (or chia), flaxseed, and ginger into a blender.

Adjust consistency: Begin blending and add water or almond milk slowly until the mixture becomes thick but spoonable.

Pour and decorate: Transfer the mixture into a bowl and arrange your favorite toppings over the surface.

Serve immediately: Smoothie bowls are meant to be eaten fresh for the best texture and nutritional benefit.

Serving and Storage Tips:

Enjoy right after blending for the thickest, creamiest result.

If prepping ahead, store the smoothie base (without toppings) in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. Stir before eating.

To keep toppings crunchy, add them only when ready to serve.

Frozen bananas help with thickness—keep a stash on hand for quick prep.

Variations:
1. High-Fiber Boost

Add 2 tablespoons of oats or psyllium husk for extra bulk and more digestive support.

2. Tropical Cleanse

Swap berries for pineapple and mango; replace ginger with turmeric.

3. Green Gut-Reset Bowl

Add 1 cup spinach and ½ cucumber for a refreshing, hydrating twist.

4. Nut-Free Version

Use coconut milk instead of almond milk; skip seeds and use fruit-only toppings.

5. Vegan Option

Replace kefir/yogurt with a coconut or almond-based probiotic yogurt.
