Equipment
- Blender
- Spoon or Small Bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Cutting Board and Knife
- Spatula or Scraper
- Topping Containers
Ingredients
For the Smoothie Base:
- 1 ½ cups frozen strawberries
- 1 ripe banana
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt
- ½ cup almond milk or milk of choice
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup optional for sweetness
For Toppings:
- ¼ cup granola
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds or flax seeds
- Fresh strawberries for garnish
- 1 tablespoon coconut flakes optional
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter or almond butter optional
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Smoothie Base
- Add frozen strawberries to your blender: Start by placing the 1 ½ cups of frozen strawberries into the blender. Using frozen strawberries helps give the smoothie that thick, creamy texture that you want for a bowl.
- Add the banana: Peel the ripe banana and break it into chunks before adding it to the blender. This will add natural sweetness and help thicken the base.
- Add Greek yogurt and milk: Pour in ½ cup of plain Greek yogurt and ½ cup of almond milk (or any milk you prefer). The yogurt makes the base creamy, and the milk helps it blend smoothly. If you like it a little sweeter, add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup.
- Blend it up: Secure the lid and blend on medium-high speed for 30 seconds to 1 minute until everything is smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a splash more milk to help it blend better. You want the consistency to be thick but still spoonable.
- Pro Tip: If your blender is struggling to blend the frozen fruit, stop and scrape the sides, then continue blending. You can also pulse a few times to help break it down.
Step 2: Assemble the Smoothie Bowl
- Pour the smoothie base into your bowl: Once your smoothie is nice and creamy, carefully pour it into a bowl. You want to make sure the base fills the bowl almost to the top for a nice, full smoothie bowl.
- Add your toppings: Now for the fun part — add your favorite toppings! Start with a generous scoop of granola for crunch, followed by a sprinkle of chia seeds or flax seeds. Add fresh strawberries color and sweetness, and don’t forget to drizzle a little peanut butter or almond butter for some protein.
- Garnish and finish: If you like coconut, sprinkle some coconut flakes on top for an extra tropical feel. You can also drizzle a little honey or maple syrup if you want a bit more sweetness.
- Pro Tip: Arrange your toppings in sections (like a swirl or in lines) to make the bowl look more visually appealing. It’s like making your smoothie bowl an art project!
Step 3: Serve and Enjoy
- Grab your spoon and dig in: Once your toppings are all set, it’s time to enjoy your beautiful strawberry smoothie bowl.
- Pro Tip: If you’re planning to make this ahead of time, you can store the smoothie base in the fridge (without the toppings) for up to a day. Just add the toppings fresh when you’re ready to eat!
