Strawberry Banana Smoothie Bowl Recipe

After making this Strawberry Banana Smoothie Bowl myself, I instantly loved how creamy and refreshing it turned out. I didn’t expect such a simple recipe to taste this satisfying, but it truly felt like a healthy treat. The balance of sweet strawberries and ripe banana makes every bite smooth and comforting.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups frozen banana slices – Frozen bananas create a thick creamy base similar to soft-serve ice cream. Always slice before freezing for easy blending.
  • 1 cup frozen strawberries – These add natural sweetness and a refreshing flavor while keeping the bowl cold and thick.
  • ¼ cup almond milk or oat milk – Plant-based milk helps blend the fruits smoothly without overpowering their flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter optional – Adds richness, healthy fats, and extra protein for a more filling bowl.
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract optional – Enhances sweetness naturally without needing added sugar.

Method
 

  1. Make sure the bananas and strawberries are completely frozen before blending. This step is key for achieving a thick and spoonable texture. I always keep frozen fruit ready to save time.
  2. Add frozen bananas, strawberries, milk, and optional ingredients to your blender. Blend until smooth, stopping to scrape the sides if needed for even blending.
  3. If the mixture feels too thick, add a small splash of milk and blend again. Do this slowly so the smoothie stays thick and creamy.
  4. Spoon the smoothie into a bowl and smooth the surface. This makes it easier to add toppings neatly and attractively.
  5. Top with fresh fruit, granola, or seeds and serve immediately. The texture is best when enjoyed fresh and cold.

Notes

  • I always use fully frozen fruit to avoid a runny texture.
  • Blending slowly helps achieve a smoother consistency.
  • I add milk gradually instead of all at once.
  • Using a food processor works better for extra-thick smoothie bowls.
