Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 medium Frozen Banana (Substitution: fresh banana frozen for at least 2 hours)
- 1 cup Frozen Mixed Berries
- 1 cup Greek Yogurt or Plant-Based Yogurt (Substitution: any non-dairy yogurt for vegan option)
- 1/2 cup Milk of Choice (Almond milk, oat milk, or dairy milk)
- 2 tablespoons Nut Butter (Peanut, Almond, or Cashew)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (Optional)
- 1 tablespoon Honey or Maple Syrup (Optional)
Toppings
- 1/4 cup Granola (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup Sliced Fresh Fruit (banana, kiwi, mango, or other berries)
- 2 tablespoons Chia Seeds or Flaxseeds (Optional)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut Flakes (Optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Banana: Use a frozen banana to achieve a creamy texture. If using a fresh banana, slice it and freeze it for at least 2 hours to mimic the frozen texture.
- Blend the Ingredients: Add the frozen banana, frozen mixed berries, Greek or plant-based yogurt, milk, nut butter, and optional vanilla extract and honey or maple syrup into a blender.
- Adjust Consistency: Start blending on low speed and gradually increase to medium. If the smoothie is too thick, add small amounts of milk until you reach the desired thickness.
- Spoon into Bowl: Once smooth and creamy, pour the smoothie into a bowl and smooth the top with the back of a spoon to create an inviting surface.
- Add Toppings: Decorate the smoothie bowl with granola, sliced fresh fruit, chia or flaxseeds, coconut flakes, and a drizzle of nut butter if desired, to add texture and enhance flavor.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy the smoothie bowl right away while it’s cold, thick, and fresh for the best flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- Freezing the banana beforehand is crucial for achieving the thick, creamy texture typical of smoothie bowls.
- You can substitute any nut butter depending on preference or dietary restrictions.
- Optional ingredients like vanilla extract, honey/maple syrup, chia seeds, and coconut flakes can be adjusted or omitted according to taste and nutritional goals.
- Use plant-based yogurt and milk to make the recipe vegan-friendly.
- Consume immediately to enjoy best taste and texture; leftovers may become watery.
