Breakfast Smoothie Bowl

Ingredients

• Banana 1 medium
• Strawberries 1/2 cup
• Vanilla protein powder 1 serving
• Almond milk 1 cup
• Granola 1/4 cup
• Chia seeds 1 tbsp

Method

1. Prepare the fruit. Peel the banana and wash the strawberries thoroughly. If your strawberries are large, cut them into halves or quarters to make blending easier.
   Tip: Using ripe bananas will add natural sweetness to your smoothie bowl.
2. Add ingredients to blender. Place the banana, strawberries, vanilla protein powder, and almond milk into a blender. Make sure the blender jar is large enough to avoid spillage.
   Tip: Add almond milk gradually if you prefer a thicker or thinner smoothie bowl consistency.
3. Blend the smoothie. Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
   Tip: If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk and blend again.
4. Pour into bowl. Pour the smoothie mixture into a serving bowl. Use a spatula to scrape out all the smoothie from the blender.
   Tip: Chill your bowl in the fridge beforehand for a refreshing experience.
5. Add toppings. Sprinkle the granola evenly over the top of the smoothie bowl, then add the chia seeds for a nutritious crunch and extra fiber.
   Tip: You can add fresh fruit slices or nuts as additional toppings if desired.

Pro tips

• Use frozen strawberries to make the smoothie bowl cold and thick without needing ice.
• For extra creaminess, add half an avocado or a spoonful of Greek yogurt into the blender.
