How do I thicken a smoothie bowl?

If your bowl turns out too thin, add a handful of ice cubes or half of a frozen banana and re-blend. Next time, start with less liquid!

Are smoothie bowls actually good for you?

Yes, they are packed with vitamins and antioxidants. Just be mindful of your toppings so you don't accidentally add too much refined sugar.

Do I need an expensive blender to make this?

No, but a high-powered blender makes it easier. If you use a regular blender, just add your liquid slowly and stop to stir frequently.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Absolutely. Swap the Greek yogurt for a thick coconut or almond yogurt, and use your favorite plant-based milk.

Why does my smoothie bowl melt so fast?

It melts fast if you use too much liquid or if your fruit wasn't fully frozen. Serving it in a chilled bowl helps tremendously!

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 0 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes
Yield: 1 large bowl

Ingredients

1 frozen banana (broken into chunks)
1 cup frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
1/2 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
1/4 cup milk of choice (almond, oat, or dairy)
1 tbsp peanut butter or almond butter
Toppings: Granola, fresh fruit, chia seeds, coconut flakes

Instructions

Add the milk and Greek yogurt to your blender first.
Top with the frozen banana chunks, frozen berries, and nut butter.
Blend on low speed, using a tamper tool to push the ingredients down.
If the blender gets stuck, add an extra tablespoon of milk. Do not add too much!
Blend until thick and smooth, resembling soft-serve ice cream.
Scoop into a bowl and arrange your favorite toppings on top. Serve immediately.

Notes

The Golden Liquid Rule: Always start with just a splash of milk. You can add more one tablespoon at a time, but too much liquid will ruin that thick, spoonable texture.

Meal Prep Hack: Pre-measure your bananas and berries into inividual Ziploc bags and freeze them. In the morning, just dump a bag into the blender with your yogurt and milk!
