This Green Mint Smoothie Bowl is a vibrant, creamy, and refreshing breakfast perfect for St. Patrick’s Day or any morning you want a healthy, fun treat. Packed with spinach, avocado, banana, and fresh mint, it’s naturally sweet, dairy-free, and endlessly customizable with festive toppings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large or 2 small frozen bananas (about 150g)
  • 1 packed cup fresh baby spinach (about 30g)
  • 1/2 medium avocado (about 60g)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice, 120mL)
  • 6–8 fresh mint leaves or 1/8–1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • 2–3 ice cubes (optional, if banana isn’t fully frozen)
  • Kiwi slices (for topping)
  • Coconut flakes (unsweetened or sweetened, for topping)
  • Cacao nibs or mini chocolate chips (for topping, optional)
  • Pumpkin seeds or hemp hearts (for topping)
  • Chia seeds (for topping)
  • Edible gold sprinkles or star confetti (for topping, optional)
  • Fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice the banana(s) and freeze overnight for the thickest smoothie. If not frozen, add 2-3 ice cubes. Wash spinach, slice avocado, and prepare mint leaves or extract. Set aside toppings.
  2. Pour almond milk (or milk of choice) into the blender. Add spinach and mint first for smooth blending.
  3. Add frozen banana chunks and avocado. Add vanilla extract and maple syrup or honey, if using. Add ice cubes if desired.
  4. Blend on low, increasing to high for 60-90 seconds, scraping sides as needed, until thick and creamy. Add more milk if too thick, or more frozen banana if too thin.
  5. Taste and adjust mint or sweetness as desired. Add more spinach for a greener color if needed.
  6. Scoop smoothie into a wide bowl and swirl the surface with a spoon.
  7. Arrange toppings: kiwi slices, coconut flakes, cacao nibs, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, edible gold sprinkles, and berries as desired.
  8. Serve immediately while thick and icy.

Notes

For best results, use fully frozen bananas for a thick, ice cream-like texture. Always add liquids and greens to the blender first, then frozen fruit. Start with a small amount of peppermint extract—it’s strong! Taste and adjust before pouring. Toppings add crunch, color, and extra nutrition—get creative! The base can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours; add toppings just before serving.
