Ingredients
Scale
Base Smoothie
- 1 banana (preferably frozen or frozen after slicing)
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1/3 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1/2 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
Toppings
- Sliced strawberries
- Sliced bananas
- Fresh blueberries
- Granola
- Shredded coconut
- Slivered almonds
- Chopped walnuts
- Chia seeds
- Sunflower seeds
Instructions
- Prep: Chop the banana into 1-inch pieces and freeze it for at least 1-2 hours or preferably overnight; this helps create a creamy, cold smoothie base.
- Process: Add the frozen banana, frozen strawberries, frozen pineapple chunks, and vanilla Greek yogurt to a food processor fitted with a standard S blade. Process for 2 to 4 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides with a plastic spatula to ensure even blending.
- Enjoy: Once the mixture is completely smooth and incorporated, scoop it into individual bowls. Add your choice of sliced strawberries, bananas, fresh blueberries, granola, shredded coconut, slivered almonds, chopped walnuts, chia seeds, and sunflower seeds as toppings. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Freezing the banana beforehand gives the smoothie bowl a thick, creamy texture without needing ice.
- You can customize toppings based on your preference and seasonal availability of fruits and nuts.
- For a vegan version, substitute vanilla Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
- The smoothie bowl is best enjoyed fresh and should be consumed immediately to maintain the texture.
- If you don’t have a food processor, a high-speed blender can be used but may take longer to achieve a smooth consistency.
