- 1/2 cup Milk of Choice (almond, oat, dairy, etc.)
- 2 tablespoons Nut Butter (Peanut, Almond, or Cashew)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (optional)

Instructions
- Preparation
Gather all ingredients and ensure the banana is properly frozen for creaminess. If using a fresh banana, slice it and freeze for at least 2 hours beforehand. - Prepare the Banana
Use a frozen banana to achieve a creamy texture. This is essential for the smooth consistency of the smoothie bowl. - Blend the Ingredients
Place the frozen banana, frozen mixed berries, Greek or plant-based yogurt, milk, and nut butter into a blender. Add vanilla extract and honey or maple syrup if using. Blend on low speed initially, then gradually increase to medium. - Adjust Consistency
If the mixture is too thick to blend smoothly, add milk gradually until you reach the desired consistency for scooping. - Spoon into Bowl
Pour the thick, creamy smoothie blend into a bowl. Use the back of a spoon to smooth the top evenly. - Add Toppings
Decorate the smoothie bowl with granola, sliced fresh fruit, chia seeds or flaxseeds, and coconut flakes as desired. Optionally, drizzle extra nut butter on top for added flavor. - Serve Immediately
Enjoy the smoothie bowl right away to experience its fresh, vibrant flavor and maintain its cold, thick texture.
Notes
- Freezing the banana beforehand is key to achieving the smoothie bowl’s creamy texture.
- You can swap Greek yogurt for plant-based yogurt to make this recipe vegan.
- Adjust the amount of milk to get your preferred thickness for blending and serving.
- Optional sweeteners like honey or maple syrup can be omitted or adjusted based on sweetness preference.
- This recipe is highly customizable with different fruits, nut butters, and toppings.
- Consume immediately for the best taste and texture, as the smoothie bowl may become watery if left sitting.
