Servings

Morning sunshine meets cool shade in this bowl: a zesty whisper of lime, a spark of ginger, and a lush green glow that feels like a fresh start. Think of it as spring cleaning for your palate—bright, fragrant, and spoonable.

Inspired by tropical café culture and the zingy balance found in Southeast Asian flavours, this bowl leans into citrus and spice for a wake-up that’s more melody than alarm. The greens bring calm, the fruit brings charm, and the ginger-lime duo brings that confident, cheeky wink.

For the creamiest, soft-serve texture, many smoothie-bowl lovers reach for fruit that’s already frozen and a splash of liquid just to coax the blades—an approach that turns a drink into a dessert-like breakfast. Ginger offers warmth that plays beautifully with lime’s perfume, while kiwi and pineapple lift vitamin C sky-high. A sprinkle of seeds adds crunch and quiet mineral strength, making each bite lively yet grounded.

Ingredients

Choose ripe fruit for natural sweetness and a velvety texture. Using pre-frozen pieces makes the bowl thick enough to hold crunchy toppings.

Instructions

Blend thick and cold, then crown with crisp toppings for contrast in every spoonful.

1
Add the frozen pineapple and frozen banana to a high-speed blender, followed by spinach, cucumber, chopped kiwi, grated ginger, lime zest, lime juice, 150 ml of the liquid, 2 tsp of the chia seeds, and a tiny pinch of salt.
2
Blend on low to start, then increase speed, using a tamper if needed. If too thick, add the remaining 30 ml liquid a little at a time until smooth and spoonable.
3
Taste and adjust brightness with an extra squeeze of lime if desired.
4
Divide the green smoothie into two shallow bowls.
5
Top with gluten-free granola, pumpkin seeds, kiwi slices, the remaining 1 tsp chia seeds, and mint leaves if using. Serve immediately.

Chef's Tip

Chill your bowls for 10 minutes before serving—cool ceramic helps keep the texture luxuriously thick.
