Ingredients
For the smoothie base:
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 cup plain cottage cheese (I prefer Daisy brand for a smooth texture)
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup pitted cherry halves (fresh or frozen work well)
For the toppings:
- 1/4 cup sliced strawberries
- 1 tbsp shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup blueberries
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans (for a nice crunch)
Step 1: Gather and Prepare Ingredients
Begin by gathering all the ingredients: 1 cup cottage cheese, 1 ripe banana, 1 cup pitted cherries, 1 cup raspberries, 2 tablespoons maple syrup (if needed), ¼ cup chopped pecans, 1 tablespoon shredded coconut, ¼ cup sliced strawberries, and ¼ cup blueberries.
Having everything prepped and ready will make the process smoother.
Step 2: Blend the Smoothie Base
In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, banana, pitted cherries, and raspberries.
Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all the fruits are fully incorporated.
Step 3: Adjust Sweetness if Needed
Taste the smoothie mixture to determine if it needs additional sweetness.
If you find it needs a bit more, add the maple syrup and blend briefly again to mix it in evenly.
Step 4: Assemble the Smoothie Bowls
Transfer the smoothie mixture into 2 bowls, dividing it equally.
This will serve as the base for your delicious and nutritious toppings.
Step 5: Add Toppings
Top each smoothie bowl with the sliced strawberries, blueberries, chopped pecans, and shredded coconut.
Distribute the toppings evenly to ensure every bite is packed with flavor and texture.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Serve the smoothie bowls immediately to enjoy them at their freshest and most flavorful.
These bowls make a perfect, nutrient-dense breakfast or snack!
