Raspberry-Mint Smoothie Bowl with Almond Granola Recipe

Raspberry-Mint Smoothie Bowl with Almond Granola

This June raspberry smoothie bowl with granola is cool, bright, and easy to make when berries are in season. Raspberries and mint give the base a fresh flavor, while granola, almonds, coconut, chia seeds, and extra berries add enough texture to make it feel like breakfast you can sit down with.

Yield: 2 servings | Time: 10 minutes

4. Serve with fresh raspberries, almond granola, sliced almonds, coconut flakes or chips, chia seeds, mint leaves, and dried cherries or cranberries, if using.

Make it Yours

For June, keep the berry-mint base and adjust the fruit as summer produce changes.

• Use strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, cherries, or a mix of berries in place of some of the raspberries.

• Basil can replace the mint for a slightly different fresh herb flavor.

• For more staying power, add a spoonful of almond butter or a few tablespoons of rolled oats before blending.

• If you want a brighter finish, add a little lemon or lime zest to the bowl before serving.
