Ingredients
For the smoothie base:
1 banana (preferably frozen)
1 cup frozen strawberries
⅓ cup frozen pineapple chunks
½ cup vanilla Greek yogurt or vanilla Skyr
(use plant-based yogurt for vegan or dairy-free version)
Optional toppings:
Sliced strawberries or bananas
Fresh blueberries or kiwi
Granola or muesli
Shredded coconut
Chia seeds or hemp hearts
Slivered almonds, walnuts, or sunflower seeds
Instructions
-
Prepare the fruit:
Peel and slice the banana, then freeze it for at least 1–2 hours (or overnight). Using frozen banana gives the smoothie bowl its creamy, ice-cream-like texture. -
Blend the base:
Add frozen banana, strawberries, pineapple, and Greek yogurt to a food processor fitted with an S-blade. Blend for 2–4 minutes, pausing to scrape down the sides as needed. -
Adjust consistency (if needed):
If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk or water — just enough to help the blades move. It should stay thick enough to eat with a spoon. -
Serve immediately:
Scoop the smoothie mixture into bowls. Decorate with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, granola, or seeds. -
Enjoy!
Serve right away while it’s cold and creamy.
Notes
- Consistency tip: If using a regular blender, run it on medium speed. You may need to stop and push ingredients down toward the blades a few times.
- Greek Yogurt vs. Plant-Based Yogurt: Greek yogurt creates the thickest texture and provides extra protein, while plant-based options give a lighter, dairy-free feel.
- Make it your own: Don’t hesitate to get creative — the base is flexible, and you can mix up the fruits and toppings to fit your taste or what’s in season.
