Kid-Friendly Fruit Ninja Smoothie Bowls

1.Prepare the Pink Base: Combine the frozen strawberries, frozen banana slices, milk, and sweetener (if using) in a high-powered blender. Blend on low, using the tamper to push the ingredients down, until the mixture is thick, creamy, and resembles soft-serve ice cream. If the blender struggles, add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until it blends smoothly. Do not over-blend, as this will make it runny.

2.Transfer the Pink Base to a separate bowl and place it in the freezer while preparing the second base.

3.Prepare the Green Base: Rinse the blender. Combine the frozen mango, packed spinach, coconut water (or juice), and frozen banana in the blender. Blend until completely smooth and thick, following the same technique as the Pink Base. Add liquid sparingly if necessary.

4.Divide the smoothie bases evenly among four serving bowls. You can serve two bowls with the Pink Base and two with the Green Base, or swirl the two colors together in each bowl for a fun, marbled effect.

5.Set up the Toppings Bar: Arrange the various toppings (berries, sliced fruit, coconut, granola, seeds, and nuts) in small bowls or ramekins.

6.Invite the 'Fruit Ninjas' to customize their bowls by arranging the toppings creatively on top of the thick smoothie base. Serve immediately.
