Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 frozen banana

1/2 cup frozen strawberries

1/2 cup frozen blueberries

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or plant-based alternative)

1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toppings: fresh berries, sliced banana, granola, chia seeds, shredded coconut, or nut butter

Directions

I add the frozen banana, strawberries, blueberries, Greek yogurt, almond milk, sweetener (if I’m using it), and vanilla extract into a high-speed blender.

I blend everything until the mixture is thick and smooth. If the texture is too thick, I add a splash more milk—but I keep it thick enough to scoop with a spoon.

I pour the smoothie into a bowl and use the back of a spoon to smooth the top.

Then, I top it with whatever I’m craving—fresh berries, banana slices, granola, chia seeds, coconut flakes, or even a swirl of nut butter.

I serve it right away while it’s nice and cold.

Variations

Vegan version: I use plant-based yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey.

Protein boost: I sometimes add a scoop of protein powder to the blender for extra nutrition.

Tropical twist: I swap the berries with frozen mango and pineapple and use coconut yogurt for a tropical flavor.

Green boost: I throw in a handful of spinach or kale for added nutrients—it blends right in without changing the flavor too much.

Nutty flavor: I blend in a spoonful of peanut or almond butter for a richer taste and creamier texture.

Storage/Reheating

I always enjoy this smoothie bowl fresh, but if I need to prep it in advance, I store the blended smoothie in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Before eating, I give it a good stir and re-blend if needed. For longer storage, I freeze the smoothie in an airtight container and thaw it slightly before blending again. I don’t recommend reheating—this is best enjoyed cold.

FAQs

What can I use instead of banana in the smoothie bowl?

If I want to skip the banana, I use frozen mango or avocado for a creamy texture. I might also need to adjust the sweetness with a bit more honey or maple syrup.

Can I use fresh berries instead of frozen?

I can, but the texture will be thinner and more like a smoothie in a cup. I prefer using frozen berries for a thick, spoonable consistency.

Is this smoothie bowl good for weight loss?

Yes, if I’m watching calories, I find this bowl to be a nutritious and satisfying option. It’s packed with fiber, protein, and healthy fats, especially if I use toppings like chia seeds or nut butter.

How can I make this smoothie bowl higher in protein?

I add a scoop of protein powder, extra Greek yogurt, or a spoonful of nut butter to bump up the protein content.

Can I prepare smoothie bowls for meal prep?

I sometimes make the smoothie base ahead of time and freeze it in containers. When I’m ready to eat, I thaw slightly and re-blend for a fresh-tasting bowl.
