Ingredients
Smoothie Base
- 1 1/2 cups frozen strawberries
- 1 medium banana (frozen, sliced)
- 1/3 cup non-dairy milk (almond or soy)
- 2 tbsp chia seeds (optional)
Toppings
- Granola (to taste)
- Fresh strawberry slices (to taste)
- Hemp seeds (to taste)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients. In a high-speed blender, add the frozen strawberries, frozen sliced banana, non-dairy milk, and chia seeds if using. This creates the base for the creamy smoothie bowl.
- Blend Smooth. Blend on high speed for about one minute. Stop, scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure all ingredients are incorporated evenly, or use a tamper if your blender has one, then blend again.
- Check Consistency. Continue blending until the mixture reaches a thick, soft-serve-like consistency, ideal for spooning rather than drinking.
- Serve and Top. Pour the smoothie into a bowl and top with granola, fresh strawberry slices, hemp seeds, and any other desired toppings to add texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use frozen fruit to achieve a thick, creamy texture without added ice.
- Chia seeds are optional but add extra fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
- Adjust non-dairy milk quantity depending on your desired thickness.
- For additional sweetness, add a little honey or maple syrup if desired.
- The smoothie bowl is best consumed immediately for freshness.
