02 - 1 ripe banana, sliced
03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt
04 - 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice

# Cooking Steps:
01 - Combine frozen berries, banana, yogurt, almond milk, honey if using, and chia seeds in a high-speed blender. Blend until completely smooth and thick, scraping down sides as needed.
02 - Divide the smoothie mixture evenly between two serving bowls, using a spatula to scrape all contents from the blender.
03 - Arrange fresh berries, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds, coconut flakes, and granola if desired on top of each bowl in rows or clusters for visual appeal.
04 - Serve immediately with spoons while the smoothie base retains its thick, cold texture.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It turns a mundane breakfast into a vibrant edible art project
- The texture contrast between the cold smoothie and crunchy seeds is addictive
02 -
- Using too much liquid will turn your bowl into a drink rather than a spoonable meal
- Frozen fruit is non negotiable if you want that thick and creamy consistency
03 -
- Let your frozen fruit thaw for just five minutes before blending to save your blender motor
- Scrape down the sides of the blender halfway through to ensure a perfectly smooth consistency
