Ingredients

Smoothie bowl

  • 1 cup frozen banana
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt dairy or vegan
  • ¼ cup milk dairy or unsweetened plant-based milk cold
  • 2 tablespoon cacao powder
  • 1 scoop plain protein powder I use unflavored and unsweetened.
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • Sweetener of choice to taste agave, date paste, honey or maple syrup optional

Toppings

Instructions

  • Place bananas, yogurt, milk, cacao, protein powder, vanilla, cinnamon and sweetener if you’re using it in food processor and process until smooth and creamy. Add more milk one tablespoon at a time to achieve desired consistency.
    1 cup frozen banana, ½ cup Greek yogurt, ¼ cup milk, 2 tablespoon cacao powder, 1 scoop plain protein powder, ½ teaspoon vanilla, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, Sweetener of choice to taste
  • Serve immediately in a bowl and top with toppings.
    Chia seeds, Cacao nibs, Granola, Shredded coconut, Almond butter, Berries and banana slices

Notes

  • Want the vegan smoothie bowl variation? Opt for vegan yogurt, a plant-based milk, and vegan protein powder.
  • Prep your frozen bananas. When I freeze bananas or any fruit I like to lay them out on a baking tray to freeze them individually and then transfer them into a storage container. This method keeps me from having large clumps of fruit which are more challenging to blend smoothly.
  • Use cold milk when you are making your smoothie bowl. That way the bananas don’t thaw out and you more easily get a thicker consistency.
  • Eat immediately. This chocolate banana smoothie bowl doesn’t really travel well or refreeze well.
