Servings and timing
This recipe makes 1–2 servings and takes just 5 minutes from start to finish. It’s perfect for a fast breakfast or snack.
Variations
Sometimes I swap the berries for mango and pineapple for a tropical version, or add a handful of spinach for a green boost. I use flavored Greek yogurt for extra sweetness or swirl in cocoa powder and peanut butter for a dessert-like twist. I’ve even topped it with dark chocolate chips when I wanted a treat.
storage/reheating
This bowl is best enjoyed fresh, but I’ve stored leftover smoothie base in the fridge for up to 24 hours. It softens a bit, but it’s still tasty. I don’t reheat it—this one’s meant to stay cold and refreshing.
FAQs
Can I make this without a high-powered blender?
Yes, but I cut the fruit smaller before freezing or let it thaw for a few minutes so it blends more easily.
Is this good for meal prep?
I freeze pre-portioned bags of fruit and just dump them into the blender with yogurt and milk when I’m ready.
What’s the best fruit to use?
I love frozen bananas for creaminess and berries for flavor, but peaches, mango, or cherries are all great too.
Can I make this dairy-free?
Yes! I use coconut or almond yogurt and plant-based milk for a fully dairy-free version.
How do I keep it thick?
I use frozen fruit and just a splash of liquid. The less liquid, the thicker the bowl.
Conclusion
The 5-Minute Fruit Smoothie Bowl with Greek Yogurt is my go-to breakfast when I want something fast, healthy, and totally customizable. It’s packed with protein, fiber, and natural sweetness—and it never gets boring. Whether I keep it simple or go all out with toppings, it always feels like a treat I can feel good about.
