- Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the frozen fruits and your choice of liquid base. Blend until creamy and smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed to ensure all ingredients are well combined.

- Pour and Arrange Toppings: Pour the thick smoothie into a bowl. Now comes the fun part — artfully arrange your toppings, mixing colors, textures, and flavors to make it visually delightful and delicious.
- Enjoy Immediately: For optimal freshness and taste, dig in right away with a spoon, savoring every creamy, crunchy bite that melds in perfect harmony.
