Print Recipe

A quick, nourishing, and creamy smoothie bowl blending frozen strawberries, ripe banana, and protein powder for a healthy breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) frozen strawberries
  • 1 medium ripe banana
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla whey or plant-based protein powder
  • ½ cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • ¼ cup (60g) cottage cheese (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Toppings: sliced fresh strawberries, banana slices, granola, toasted coconut flakes, pumpkin seeds or chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Measure out all ingredients: frozen strawberries, ripe banana, protein powder, almond milk, cottage cheese if using, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and optional honey or maple syrup.
  2. Add frozen strawberries and banana chunks to the blender first, then add protein powder, almond milk, cottage cheese, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and sweetener if desired.
  3. Blend on low speed gradually increasing to high for 1-2 minutes until thick, creamy, and smooth like soft-serve ice cream. Add almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time if too thick, or more frozen berries/cottage cheese if too thin.
  4. While blending, prepare toppings by slicing fresh strawberries and banana, and toasting coconut flakes or nuts if desired.
  5. Spoon the smoothie mixture into serving bowls, ensuring a thick base that holds toppings.
  6. Decorate with prepared toppings and serve immediately for best texture and freshness.

Notes

Use frozen fruit for thickness. Add almond milk gradually to avoid runny texture. Cottage cheese or Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein. Sweeten only if fruit is not ripe. Prepare toppings while blending to save time. Consume immediately for best texture; store leftovers in fridge up to 24 hours and stir before serving.
