Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 heaping cup organic frozen mixed berries
- 1 small ripe banana, sliced and frozen
- 2-3 Tbsp light coconut or almond milk
- 1 scoop plain or vanilla protein powder (optional)
Toppings
- 1 Tbsp shredded unsweetened coconut (desiccated)
- 1 Tbsp chia seeds
- 1 Tbsp hemp seeds
- Granola (as desired)
- Fresh fruit such as strawberries (as desired)
Instructions
- Blend Frozen Fruit: Add the frozen mixed berries and sliced frozen banana to a blender. Blend on low speed until small bits remain, creating a textured base.
- Add Liquid and Protein: Pour in 2-3 tablespoons of light coconut or almond milk along with one scoop of protein powder if using. Blend again on low, scraping down the sides as needed, until the mixture achieves a soft-serve ice cream consistency.
- Serve and Top: Scoop the smoothie mixture into 1-2 bowls depending on portion size. Top with shredded coconut, chia seeds, hemp seeds, granola, and fresh fruit or nut butter as preferred for added texture and flavor.
- Storage: Best enjoyed fresh. However, leftovers can be stored in the freezer for 1-2 weeks. Allow to thaw before consuming.
Notes
- Feel free to substitute the protein powder with your favorite plant-based or whey option.
- Adjust the amount of milk to achieve your desired smoothie thickness.
- Use any combination of toppings to suit your taste or dietary needs.
- For a colder smoothie bowl, blend a bit longer or add more frozen fruit.
- This recipe is easily doubled or tripled to serve more people.
