Total Time: 5 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 frozen banana
- 1/2 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon sprinkles (optional)
- Toppings: sliced fruit, granola, additional sprinkles
Instructions
- Peel and slice the frozen banana into smaller chunks to help with blending. If the banana wasn't pre-frozen, chop and freeze it at least 2 hours before preparation.
- Add the frozen banana chunks, almond milk, almond butter, and vanilla extract into a high-powered blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, approximately 45-60 seconds.
- Stop the blender and scrape down the sides with a spatula to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated. Blend again briefly if needed to achieve a consistent, thick smoothie texture.
- Pour the smoothie mixture into two serving bowls, spreading it evenly with the back of a spoon to create a smooth surface.
- Garnish the smoothie bowl with optional toppings: sprinkle vegan sprinkles, add sliced fresh fruits like strawberries or bananas, and top with a handful of gluten-free granola for extra crunch.
- Serve immediately while the smoothie is cold and thick. For best texture and flavor, enjoy right after preparation.
Tips
- • Use very ripe, previously frozen bananas for the creamiest and sweetest base • Freeze your banana chunks in advance for at least 2 hours to ensure a thick, ice cream-like consistency • If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk; if too thin, add more frozen banana • For extra protein, consider adding a scoop of vegan protein powder • Choose fresh, colorful toppings to make your smoothie bowl visually appealing • Invest in a high-powered blender for the smoothest texture possible • Prepare all ingredients and toppings before blending to maintain the smoothie's cold temperature
