Directions
- Blend the Base

Get creative! Arrange kiwi slices, blueberries, chia seeds, and granola in waves or patterns that mimic the ocean.

The Finishing Touch
Presentation matters! Use a drizzle of honey or a dusting of coconut flakes to elevate your smoothie bowl from beautiful to breathtaking. A bright spoon and colorful napkin add to the visual appeal.
Tips for Success
- Freeze your fruits: This ensures the bowl is thick and creamy.
- Layer smartly: Heavier toppings like granola should go first to prevent sinking.
- Keep it cold: Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
- Experiment: Swap spirulina for matcha or açai for different colors and health benefits.
