Instructions
- Add all ingredients for the main smoothie, except almond almond milk, and place into blender, . Add half of the almond milk. Blend until smooth. Add almond milk as needed to reach desired consistency. Transfer to a bowl.
- In a small blender, gather ingredients for the small smoothie batch. Blend until smooth and the color of green you desire. Add chia seeds or banana to thicken. Add more spinach for a darker green color.
- Transfer the small smoothie batch to a small squeeze bottle. Squeeze the green smoothie onto the main smoothie bowl to create a custom shape or beautiful design. Add kiwi, chia seeds, and shredded coconut to the outer edge of the bowl. Top your design off with pomegranate for some added color and flavor. Enjoy!
Notes
TIPS: If the small batch of smoothie is difficult to create a design, the smoothie may be too thin. Add banana or chia seeds to thicken the batch and try again. Test the squeeze bottle on a paper towel before trying on the main smoothie bowl.
