  2. Step 2: Blend the Base - In your blender, combine the kale, frozen banana, Greek yogurt, honey or coconut sugar, cashew butter, vanilla extract, coconut water, hemp or flax seeds, and protein powder. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. If your mixture is too thick, add a splash more coconut water to help it along.
  3. Step 3: Taste and Adjust - Give your smoothie a taste. If you prefer it sweeter, add a little more honey or sugar. Blend again to combine any additional ingredients.
  4. Step 4: Assemble Your Bowl - Pour your smoothie into a bowl. This part is where the fun begins!
  5. Step 5: Add Toppings - Top your smoothie bowl with fresh blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, banana slices, and pomegranate seeds. Get creative with the arrangement for a beautiful presentation!
  6. Step 6: Enjoy! - Grab a spoon and dig into your delicious Lean, Green Protein Smoothie Bowl. Relish in the flavors and the knowledge that you're fueling your body with wholesome, nourishing ingredients.
