Instructions
- 1
Combine the frozen berries, frozen banana slices, Greek yogurt, almond milk, almond butter, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt in a high-powered blender.
- 2
Blend on high speed for 90 seconds to 2 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, until the mixture reaches a thick, soft-serve ice cream consistency.
- 3
Pour the blended mixture into a wide, shallow bowl, using a spatula to smooth the top into an even layer.
- 4
Scatter the rolled oats evenly across the entire surface of the smoothie base, covering about half of the bowl's area.
- 5
Arrange the chopped almonds in a small cluster on top, pressing them gently into the smoothie so they adhere.
- 6
Sprinkle the coconut flakes over another section of the bowl, creating distinct flavor zones.
- 7
Distribute the fresh blueberries and sliced strawberries in separate areas across the top.
- 8
Scatter the ground flaxseed and pumpkin seeds over the remaining exposed smoothie base.
- 9
Arrange the diced kiwi pieces in a line or cluster for visual appeal and added tartness.
- 10
Finish with a light dusting of raw sunflower seeds for extra crunch and nutrition.

Serve immediately while the smoothie base is still cold and creamy, using a spoon to gather smoothie and toppings with each bite.
- 12
If the mixture is too thin, add 2-3 more tablespoons of frozen fruit and reblend before serving.
