Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- 1 banana
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- Granola for topping
- Fresh blueberries for garnish
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are fresh and at the proper temperature. Take the frozen blueberries out of the freezer.
- Add frozen blueberries, ripe banana, almond milk, and almond butter to a high-powered blender. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, approximately 45-60 seconds.
- Stop the blender and scrape down the sides with a spatula to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated. Blend again briefly if needed.
- Check the consistency of the smoothie. If too thick, add a little more almond milk. If too thin, add more frozen blueberries.
- Pour the smoothie mixture into two serving bowls, using a spatula to evenly distribute.
- Sprinkle chia seeds evenly over the top of each smoothie bowl.
- Add a generous handful of granola on one side of the bowl for texture and crunch.
- Garnish with fresh blueberries, strategically placing them on top and around the smoothie bowl.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the optimal temperature and texture of the smoothie bowl.
Tips
- Freeze your bananas in advance for an extra creamy texture. Peel and slice ripe bananas before freezing for easy blending.
- Use a high-powered blender to ensure a smooth, lump-free consistency. If your blender struggles, pause and scrape down the sides frequently.
- Experiment with different milk alternatives like coconut milk or oat milk for varied flavors and nutritional profiles.
- For added protein, consider mixing in a scoop of plant-based protein powder before blending.
- Get creative with toppings! While the recipe suggests granola and fresh blueberries, try adding sliced almonds, coconut flakes, or a drizzle of maple syrup for extra excitement.
- Prep your ingredients the night before to make morning preparation a breeze.
- If you prefer a thicker smoothie bowl, use less almond milk or add a few extra ice cubes during blending.
