🍌 What is a smoothie bowl
A smoothie bowl is similar to a regular smoothie, but it's thicker and served in a bowl instead of a glass. This makes it perfect for toppings! You can add anything you like, from fresh fruit and nuts to granola and chocolate chips.
😃 Why you will love a banana strawberry smoothie bowl
EASY: Making smoothie bowls is actually really easy. You combine all the ingredients and blend them together until it reaches a smooth consistency. You can do this in a blender or food processor.
HEALTHY: This smoothie bowl contains natural ingredients with no added sugar, making this a healthy choice not just for breakfast, but also as a snack or post-workout any time of day.
KIDS LOVE THEM: Make your kids these to start their day off with a healthy dose of fruits and vitamins. They will think it is a bowl of soft ice cream they are eating!
🥣 Ingredient notes and substitutions
To make a delicious banana and strawberry smoothie bowl, you will need:

- Frozen banana. To make this smoothie bowl thick and creamy, you will need to use a sliced, frozen banana. If you use a fresh banana the consistency won't be as thick.
- Strawberries, fresh or frozen. I like to use frozen strawberries because I like to have a super thick smoothie bowl. However, you could also use fresh strawberries.
- Almond milk. This helps to give the smoothie bowl a creamy consistency. I used unsweetened almond milk, but you could also use coconut milk, oat milk, or your favorite dairy milk if you are not vegan.
- Honey or maple syrup, to taste, optional. I find that I do not need to add any additional sweetener to this smoothie bowl. If you like a sweeter taste, feel free to add either honey or maple syrup. Just a little will do.
- Your choice of toppings. I topped this smoothie bowl with sliced banana, fresh strawberries, shredded coconut, and chia seeds.
