Prep your ingredients: Make sure your fruit is frozen solid. If using fresh fruit, add a handful of ice cubes to achieve the right consistency. Take your yogurt out of the fridge just a minute before blending.
Add ingredients to blender: Start with the yogurt at the bottom, then add the frozen banana, frozen berries, milk, and any sweetener you're using. This order helps the blender work more efficiently.
Blend on low first: Start your blender on the lowest setting to break up the frozen fruit. Use your tamper if you have one, or stop and scrape down the sides with a spatula.
Increase speed gradually: Once the mixture starts moving, increase to medium-high speed. Blend until smooth and thick, about 30-60 seconds total. The mixture should be thick enough that a spoon stands up in it.
Check consistency: If it's too thick to blend, add milk one tablespoon at a time. If it's too thin, add more frozen fruit or a few ice cubes.
Transfer to bowl: Pour your smoothie bowl with yogurt into a wide, shallow bowl. This gives you more surface area for those beautiful toppings!
Add toppings: Arrange your toppings in sections or rows for that picture-perfect look. Work quickly before the bowl starts to melt.
Enjoy immediately: Grab a spoon and dig in while it's still thick and cold!
