Ingredients
  

Smoothie Base:

  • 1 frozen banana for creaminess and natural sweetness
  • ½ cup frozen mixed berries strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or a blend
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt for protein and richness
  • ¼ cup milk of choice almond, oat, dairy—start with less, add more if needed
  • 1 tablespoon nut butter peanut, almond, or cashew for depth of flavor
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract optional but recommended for extra flavor
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup optional, for extra sweetness

Toppings (Optional, But Recommended):

  • ¼ cup granola for crunch
  • Sliced fresh fruit banana, kiwi, mango, or berries
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds or flaxseeds for fiber and omega-3s
  • 1 tablespoon coconut flakes for a tropical touch
  • Drizzle of nut butter because it's delicious!

Instructions
 

  • Make sure your banana is frozen for the best texture. If not, slice a fresh banana and freeze it for at least 2 hours before blending.
  • In a high-speed blender, combine: 1 frozen banana, ½ cup frozen mixed berries, ½ cup Greek yogurt, ¼ cup milk of choice, 1 tablespoon nut butter, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Optional: Add 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup for sweetness.
  • Blend on low speed, gradually increasing to medium. If the mixture is too thick to blend, add a tiny bit more milk, but keep it as thick as possible for a spoonable consistency.
  • The smoothie should be thick and creamy (not runny). If it’s too thin, add a few more frozen berries or a couple of ice cubes and blend again.
  • Spoon the smoothie mixture into a bowl, using the back of the spoon to spread it out evenly.
  • Now for the fun part! Top with: Granola for crunch, sliced fruit for freshness, chia or flaxseeds for added nutrition, coconut flakes for texture, or nut butter drizzle for extra richness
  • Smoothie bowls are best enjoyed right away while they’re thick and cold. Grab a spoon and dig in!

Notes

Tips for the Best Smoothie Bowl:

✅ Use less liquid at first—you can always add more, but too much will make it runny.
✅ Blend slowly and patiently—this helps keep the texture thick.
✅ Pre-freeze your ingredients for a quicker, thicker smoothie.
✅ Layer your toppings carefully—put crunchy ones like granola on one side so they don’t get soggy too fast.
