Equipment
- Blender
- Cutting Board and Knife
- Spoon
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Serving bowl
Ingredients
For the Base:
- 2 ripe bananas frozen
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or any yogurt of your choice
- 1/4 cup almond milk or any milk you prefer
- 1 tablespoon honey optional, for extra sweetness
For the Toppings:
- 1/4 cup granola
- 1/4 cup fresh berries strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon shredded coconut optional
- A drizzle of peanut butter or almond butter optional
Instructions
Blend the Base (2-3 minutes)
- Add the frozen bananas, Greek yogurt, almond milk, and honey (if using) into your blender.
- Blend on high until everything is smooth and creamy. If it’s too thick, add a little more milk to get your desired consistency.
- Pro Tip: If your bananas are really frozen solid, use the tamper (if your blender has one) or pause and stir occasionally to keep things moving.
Prepare the Toppings (2-3 minutes)
- While your smoothie base is blending, prep your toppings. Slice any fresh fruits like strawberries or bananas, measure out the granola, and get your chia seeds and coconut ready.
- Pro Tip: Lay everything out in an organized way — it makes assembling the bowl so much easier and faster!
Assemble the Smoothie Bowl (1 minute)
- Pour the smoothie base into a bowl. It should be thick enough to hold your toppings without spilling over.
- Arrange your toppings on top however you like — make it pretty and fun! Add granola, fresh fruit, chia seeds, coconut, and a drizzle of peanut butter or almond butter if you’re in the mood.
- Pro Tip: Layer your toppings so every bite has something different — a little crunch, a bit of sweetness, and some creaminess.
Enjoy!
- Grab your spoon, dig in, and enjoy your delicious banana smoothie bowl! It's ready to eat right away, and I bet you won’t be able to stop at just one bite!
