5Minute Fruit Smoothie Bowl: Creamy Baked

Instructions:

1. Chill your serving bowl. Place it in the freezer for the duration of the prep. Note: This prevents the base from melting on contact with a room temperature dish.
2. Add almond milk and Greek yogurt first. Pour these into the base of the blender. Note: Liquid at the bottom prevents the blades from spinning in an air pocket.
3. Layer the frozen mango and mixed berries. Place the frozen fruit on top of the liquid base.
4. Add the vanilla whey protein. Sprinkle the powder over the fruit. Note: Keeping the powder away from the very bottom prevents it from clumping in the corners.
5. Start blending on the lowest speed. Pulse 5-10 times until the fruit is broken into small, gravel sized pieces.
6. Increase to medium high speed. Use your tamper or stop to scrape the sides until a thick four lobed swirl forms in the center. You should smell the intense, floral aroma of the berries at this stage.
7. Check the consistency. The mixture should be thick enough to hold a spoon upright. If it's too thick, add one teaspoon of milk at a time.
8. Transfer the base to your chilled bowl. Use a spatula to create a smooth surface or a swirl pattern.
9. Arrange your toppings. Sprinkle the hemp hearts and granola, then place the strawberry slices and drizzle the almond butter. Look for the contrast of the bright red berries against the purple base.
10. Serve immediately. The aroma of the nutty almond butter combined with the cold fruit is most potent right now.
