Why You'll Love this Creamy Smoothie Bowl

You can add fun toppings and serve it in a bowl instead of a cup for a filling and delicious breakfast or post workout snack.
Smoothie Bowl Ingredients
- Frozen banana - you'll want to peel and cut a ripe banana into rounds or four pieces and freeze on parchment paper on a tray for a few hours. Freezing whole, with the peel, will be very difficult to peel and cut.
- Frozen strawberries - Frozen strawberries eliminate the need for ice cubes and are available year round.
- Coconut milk - you can use oat milk, regular dairy milk, or milk of choice. You can even use a little Greek yogurt with a bit of water if you would like.
- Maple syrup - the maple syrup works with the banana to balance the tartness of the strawberries.
- Vanilla extract - the vanilla flavor pairs so well with the strawberry and banana. You don't want to leave it out. If you use vanilla milk, you can cut the vanilla extract in half.
Instructions
Using a high-speed blender, add your smoothie ingredients to the blender. Blend on high.
It will take about 3 minutes and a few times to stop to push down the fruit and scrape it from the sides of the blender before the smoothie is completely blended and has a soft serve ice cream consistency.
Once blended, pour into a bowl and top with your favorite toppings.
Toppings for Smoothie Bowls
- Chia seeds - chia seeds can add a bit of crunch (as long as they don't sit too long)
- Nut butters - a little bit of almond or peanut butter can be a great addition.
- Fresh fruit - like additional strawberry pieces, pineapple chunks or pomegranate seeds.
- Nuts and seeds - crushed pumpkin seeds, almonds, and/or cashews are delicious toppings.
- Granola - add your favorite granola for a little crunchiness and goodness.
