Ingredients
  

Smoothie Base
  • 1 small purple yam, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup frozen bananas, sliced
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons pistachio paste or shelled pistachios
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
Toppings

  • 1 medium kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons granola (gluten-free if preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped pistachios
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened coconut flakes
  • Edible flowers or microgreens (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Steam or boil the diced purple yam in a saucepan or steamer for about 8 to 10 minutes until it is fork-tender. Let the cooked yam cool completely.
  2. In a blender, combine the cooked purple yam, frozen bananas, yogurt, almond milk, pistachio paste, and honey or maple syrup. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Adjust the consistency with more almond milk if desired.
  4. Divide the smoothie base evenly between two serving bowls.
Decoration
  1. Top each bowl with an array of fresh berries, sliced kiwi, granola, chopped pistachios, and coconut flakes.
  2. For an Instagram-worthy touch, add edible flowers as a garnish.
Serving
  1. Serve immediately and enjoy. Customize the toppings as you please.

Notes

For an added zest, sprinkle a dash of cinnamon or a squeeze of lime juice on top. To make a thicker smoothie bowl, freeze the yogurt or use more frozen bananas. Get creative with your toppings for variety.
