Ingredients
  

Base
  • 1 cup frozen berries strawberry + blueberry works great
  • 1 frozen banana sliced before freezing — trust me, it blends better
  • 1 scoop protein powder vanilla or chocolate
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt for creaminess
  • ¼ –½ cup milk of choice add slowly… you want thickness
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp peanut butter or almond butter
Toppings
  • Toppings are honestly the fun part. Choose a few:
  • Sliced bananas
  • Granola a small handful — I always overdo it, don't be me
  • More berries
  • Chia or flax seeds
  • Coconut flakes
  • A drizzle of honey
  • Crushed nuts

Equipment

  • Blender
  • a medium bowl
  • Spoon.
  • Measuring cups
  • Freezer

Method
 

Start with the frozen fruit
  1. I add the frozen stuff first because it helps the blender catch the rest.
  2. (Once I added milk first and everything floated like sad islands. Don’t do that.)
Add yogurt + protein powder
  1. This combo makes the base thick and creamy — almost ice-cream-ish.
Add milk slowly
  1. Pause a second… This step decides your bowl’s destiny.
  2. Add a splash, blend, check thickness.
  3. Repeat if needed.
  4. You want a thick, spoon-able texture, not a runny smoothie.
Toss in chia + nut butter
  1. They give body, richness, and that subtle “ooh okay this is good” vibe.
Blend until smooth but thick
  1. I sometimes stop halfway, poke it with a spoon, mumble something like,
  2. “Yeah… almost there,” and then continue.
  3. Totally normal.
Pour into a bowl + decorate like you’re on Instagram
  1. Line your bananas. Sprinkle your granola.
  2. Pretend you’re a food stylist for 20 seconds.
  3. It’s fun.
  4. That’s it — your high-protein smoothie bowl is ready.
