Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1 banana
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/4 cup granola
- Fresh strawberries for topping
- Chia seeds for topping
Instructions
- Remove the frozen strawberries from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for 1-2 minutes to slightly soften.
- Peel the ripe banana and break it into chunks to help with easier blending.
- Add the frozen strawberries, banana chunks, almond milk, and maple syrup to a high-powered blender.
- Blend the ingredients on high speed for 45-60 seconds, stopping to scrape down the sides if necessary, until the mixture is smooth and creamy with a thick, soft-serve like consistency.
- If the mixture is too thick, add a small amount of additional almond milk. If it's too thin, add more frozen strawberries.
- Pour the smoothie mixture into two serving bowls, using a spatula to create a smooth surface.
- Top the smoothie bowl with fresh sliced strawberries, sprinkle granola evenly across the surface, and garnish with chia seeds.
- Serve immediately while the smoothie is still cold and has a thick, creamy texture.
- Optional: For extra decoration, you can create a pattern with the toppings or add a drizzle of additional maple syrup.
Tips
- Use Frozen Strawberries: Make sure to use frozen strawberries for that thick, creamy texture. If you only have fresh strawberries, you can freeze them ahead of time.
- Adjust the Consistency: If your smoothie bowl is too thick, add a splash more almond milk to reach your desired consistency. Conversely, if it’s too thin, toss in more frozen strawberries to thicken it up.
- Banana Ripeness Matters: Choose a ripe banana for optimal sweetness and creaminess. The riper the banana, the more flavor it will add to your smoothie.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative with your toppings! Besides granola and chia seeds, consider adding nuts, coconut flakes, or even a drizzle of nut butter for an extra flavor boost.
- Serve Immediately: For the best experience, serve your smoothie bowl right after preparation. This ensures it retains its cold, creamy texture that is simply irresistible.
- Presentation is Key: Take a moment to artfully arrange your toppings. A beautiful presentation not only enhances the visual appeal but also makes your smoothie bowl even more enjoyable.
