Print Recipe

A quick and easy smoothie bowl blending frozen strawberries and banana for a thick, creamy texture, topped with crunchy granola and fresh fruit. Perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) frozen strawberries
  • 1 large (about 120g) frozen banana
  • ½ cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • ¼ cup granola
  • A few slices fresh strawberries
  • A few slices banana
  • 1 tablespoon toasted coconut flakes
  • 1 tablespoon chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts, optional)

Instructions

  1. Measure out 1 cup (150g) of frozen strawberries and 1 large frozen banana (about 120g). If banana isn’t frozen, peel, slice, and freeze for at least 2 hours.
  2. Place frozen strawberries and banana into blender. Add ½ cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk, 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup if using, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon chia seeds.
  3. Blend on low speed gradually increasing to high until smooth and thick, scraping down sides as needed. Add a splash more almond milk if too thick, but keep it dense enough to hold toppings.
  4. Taste and add more honey or maple syrup if desired, then pulse briefly to combine.
  5. Pour smoothie base into a wide bowl and smooth the top with a spoon.
  6. Sprinkle ¼ cup granola evenly over the surface. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices, banana slices, 1 tablespoon toasted coconut flakes, and optional chopped nuts.
  7. Serve immediately for best texture and freshness. Store leftovers in fridge up to 24 hours; stir or re-blend before serving.

Notes

Use frozen fruit for thick, creamy texture. Avoid adding too much liquid to keep bowl spoonable. Add crunchy toppings just before serving to keep them crisp. Substitute oat or coconut milk for almond milk. Swap honey for maple syrup to make vegan. Chia seeds can be replaced with flax seeds or omitted.
