Description
Start your day with a creamy protein smoothie bowl packed with flavor and nutrition. Quick, easy, and delicious!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 ripe banana, sliced
- 1 scoop vanilla plant‑based protein powder (about 20g protein)
- ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp almond butter
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
- Toppings: sliced kiwi, granola, shredded coconut, fresh mint leaves, a drizzle of almond butter
Instructions
- Blend the Base: In a high‑speed blender, combine the frozen berries, banana slices, protein powder, almond milk, chia seeds, almond butter, and honey (if using). Blend on high until the mixture is thick, creamy, and has no large ice chunks—about 30–45 seconds.
- Check Consistency: The smoothie should be thick enough to hold a spoonful of itself. If it’s too thin, add a splash more almond milk or a few ice cubes and blend again.
- Pour & Plate: Transfer the thick smoothie into a bowl. Use the back of a spoon to smooth the surface.
- Add Toppings: Arrange sliced kiwi, a sprinkle of granola, a dusting of shredded coconut, fresh mint leaves, and a drizzle of almond butter on top. These add texture and a burst of flavor.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy while it’s still cool and creamy. If you prefer a slightly chilled bowl, let it sit for a minute or two before eating.
Notes
- Use frozen berries to keep the bowl cold without diluting the flavor.
- For a sweeter taste, add a splash of vanilla extract or a few drops of stevia.
- Swap almond milk for oat milk for a creamier texture.
- To boost protein further, add a tablespoon of hemp seeds or a scoop of collagen powder.
- Keep the bowl chilled in the fridge for up to 24 hours—just stir before eating.
