When you’re short on time but still want a breakfast that feels like a treat, this 5-Minute Fruit Smoothie Bowl with Greek Yogurt delivers. Creamy, cold, and bursting with fruity flavor, this quick smoothie bowl is the perfect way to start your day feeling energized, nourished, and satisfied.
Unlike a drinkable smoothie, this bowl is thicker, spoonable, and designed to be topped with your favorite crunchy, colorful extras. With protein-packed Greek yogurt and antioxidant-rich berries, this bowl makes healthy eating feel like indulgence — and it only takes 5 minutes!
🧾 Ingredients (Serves 1–2)
For the Smoothie Base:
- 1 banana (preferably frozen)
- ½ cup frozen strawberries
- ½ cup frozen blueberries (or mixed berries)
- ½ cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt

👩🍳 Instructions
1. Blend the Smoothie Base

3. Serve Immediately

✨ From My Kitchen
This smoothie bowl is my go-to breakfast when I want something cool, satisfying, and packed with nutrients — without cooking or cleanup. It’s also a hit with kids because it looks like dessert! The key is the contrast: creamy smoothie base + crunchy toppings + fresh fruit = perfection in every bite.
It’s customizable for every season, too. In the summer, I love mango and pineapple; in the fall, I swap in cinnamon, apple slices, and nut butter. The combinations are endless — and so delicious.
