Instructions

Preparation: Gather and prepare all your ingredients before starting to blend. Ensure the banana is frozen or has been frozen for at least 2 hours if using fresh.
Prepare the Banana: Slice the frozen banana into pieces to facilitate blending; if using a fresh banana, slice and freeze it beforehand to achieve the creamy texture.
Blend the Ingredients: Add the frozen banana pieces, frozen mixed berries, Greek or plant-based yogurt, milk of choice, nut butter, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup into a blender.
Adjust Consistency: Start blending on low speed, gradually increasing to medium until smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, gradually add more milk to reach the desired consistency.
Spoon into Bowl: Pour the thick, creamy smoothie into a bowl. Use the back of your spoon to smooth the surface and create a visually appealing base.
Add Toppings: Decorate the top with granola, sliced fresh fruit, chia seeds or flaxseeds, and coconut flakes. Optionally, drizzle additional nut butter for extra flavor and texture.
Serve Immediately: Enjoy your smoothie bowl fresh to savor the cold, creamy, and nutrient-packed breakfast while it’s at its best.

Notes

If using a fresh banana in place of frozen, slice and freeze it for at least 2 hours for the best creamy texture.
