Ingredients
  

  • Frozen mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, or a blend)
  • Frozen banana (sliced)
  • Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla; dairy-free works too)
  • Milk of choice (almond, oat, dairy, or soy)
  • Protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
  • Nut or seed butter (peanut, almond, cashew, or sunflower)
  • Chia seeds or ground flaxseed
  • Honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
  • Vanilla extract (optional)
  • Ice cubes (optional, for extra thickness)
  • Toppings: fresh berries, sliced banana, granola, coconut flakes, cacao nibs, pumpkin seeds, hemp hearts

Method
 

  1. Prep your base: Add 1.5 cups frozen mixed berries and 1 small frozen banana to a high-speed blender.
  2. Add creaminess: Spoon in 1/2 cup Greek yogurt. This helps make the bowl thick and satisfying.
  3. Boost the nutrition: Add 1 scoop protein powder, 1 tablespoon nut or seed butter, and 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flax.
  4. Pour in liquid: Start with 1/3 cup milk of choice. You can add more if needed, but less liquid keeps it thick.
  5. Optional flavor: Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if your berries are very tart.
  6. Blend low and slow: Pulse a few times to break up the frozen fruit. Then blend on low, stopping to scrape down the sides. Add a splash more milk only if the blades struggle.
  7. Check the texture: You’re aiming for soft-serve consistency—thick, creamy, and scoopable. If it’s too thin, add a handful of ice or more frozen berries.
  8. Pour and smooth: Transfer to a bowl and use the back of a spoon to swirl the top.
  9. Top it off: Add crunch and color with granola, fresh berries, sliced banana, coconut flakes, pumpkin seeds, cacao nibs, and a sprinkle of hemp hearts.
  10. Serve right away: Smoothie bowls are best when they’re cold and thick.
