Ingredients
  

1 banana, frozen

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)

Zest of 1 lemon

Juice of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust for sweetness)

2 tablespoons chia seeds

1 tablespoon almond butter (optional, for added creaminess)

Fresh fruits for topping (sliced strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, etc.)

1 tablespoon coconut flakes (unsweetened)

Extra chia seeds for garnish

Mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Blend the Base: In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen banana, Greek yogurt, almond milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey or maple syrup, almond butter (if using), and 2 tablespoons of chia seeds. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.

    Adjust Consistency: If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more of almond milk until it reaches your desired consistency. It should be thick enough to hold toppings without being too liquidy.

      Prepare Toppings: While the smoothie base blends, prepare your toppings. Slice fresh fruits like strawberries, kiwi, and blueberries. Set aside.

        Serve: Pour the smoothie mixture into a bowl. Use the back of a spoon to create a slight well in the center for easy topping.

          Add Toppings: Artfully arrange the fresh fruit slices on top of the smoothie bowl. Sprinkle coconut flakes, extra chia seeds, and mint leaves for a fresh touch.

            Enjoy: Dive in with a spoon and enjoy your refreshing Zesty Lemon Sunshine Smoothie Bowl as a vibrant breakfast or a snack!
