A creamy cherry smoothie bowl featuring vibrant pink ombre layers made with cherries, Greek yogurt, and coconut milk. Perfect for a quick, nutritious, and visually stunning breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups frozen cherries (about 225 grams)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (240 ml), plain or vanilla
  • ½ cup canned full-fat coconut milk (120 ml)
  • 1 medium ripe banana, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • A handful fresh cherries, pitted and sliced (for topping)
  • ¼ cup granola or crushed nuts (optional, for crunch)
  • Edible flower petals or shredded coconut (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cherry puree layer: In your blender, add 1 cup (150 g) of frozen cherries, ¼ cup (60 ml) coconut milk, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Blend on high until silky smooth, about 45 seconds. If too thick, add a splash more coconut milk.
  2. Make the middle creamy layer: Rinse your blender and add ½ cup (120 ml) Greek yogurt, ½ ripe banana, 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup, and 1 tablespoon chia seeds. Blend for 30 seconds until creamy and slightly thickened.
  3. Prepare the base layer: Clean the blender again. Add the remaining ½ cup (120 ml) Greek yogurt, ½ ripe banana, and ½ cup (75 g) frozen cherries. Blend until smooth but slightly chunkier than previous layers, about 40 seconds.
  4. Layer the bowl: Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, add the base layer first to your serving bowl, smoothing it evenly. Next, carefully spoon the middle creamy layer on top, smoothing gently to keep the layers distinct. Finally, add the vibrant cherry puree on top, creating a beautiful pink ombre gradient.
  5. Garnish: Top with fresh cherry slices, granola or crushed nuts, and a sprinkle of edible flower petals or shredded coconut.
  6. Serve immediately: Best enjoyed fresh but can be chilled for up to 2 hours. Avoid freezing as it changes the texture.

Notes

Chill the bowl for 5 minutes between layering to keep the ombre effect sharp. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and smooth texture. Frozen cherries provide the best creamy, cold texture; if using fresh cherries, add ice cubes when blending. Avoid overblending to maintain some texture. Can be made dairy-free by substituting Greek yogurt with almond or coconut yogurt and using maple syrup instead of honey.
