Description

A thick and creamy smoothie bowl made with frozen fruits, nut butter, and optional protein powder, topped with granola, seeds, and fresh fruit for added texture and flavor. Perfect for breakfast, post-workout fuel, or a light dessert, this dish is nutrient-packed, visually stunning, and easy to customize for any taste.


Ingredients

– 1 cup frozen strawberries or mixed berries

– 1 cup frozen banana slices (from very ripe bananas)

– 3 tablespoons milk or non-dairy milk (e.g., almond, oat, or coconut milk)

– 2 tablespoons nut butter (almond butter, peanut butter, or sunflower seed butter – optional)

– 2 tablespoons vanilla or unflavored protein powder (optional)

– 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil (optional)

For the toppings:

– ¼ cup granola

– 1 tablespoon hemp seeds (or chia seeds, flaxseeds, etc.)

– Fresh strawberries, sliced

– Fresh banana slices

– Optional: cacao nibs, shredded coconut, or edible flowers for garnish


Instructions

  1. In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen strawberries, frozen banana slices, and milk. Blend until coarse.
  2. Add optional ingredients like nut butter or protein powder and blend again until thick and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more milk; if too thin, add a few more frozen banana slices.
  3. Scoop the blended mixture into a serving bowl.
  4. Drizzle with melted coconut oil (if using).
  5. Top with granola, hemp seeds, fresh strawberry slices, and banana slices. Add optional toppings like cacao nibs, shredded coconut, or edible flowers for extra flair.
  6. Serve immediately with a spoon and enjoy!

Notes

– For a thicker smoothie base, use less liquid and more frozen fruit.

– Customize with mix-ins like spinach, kale, or avocado for added nutrients.

– Store leftover smoothie base in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day or freeze for up to 1 month. Blend again with a splash of liquid to restore texture avoid microwaving to preserve creaminess.

– Best served fresh; assemble toppings just before serving to maintain crunch and texture.
