Ingredients
- Whey protein powder 1 scoop
- Unsweetened almond milk 1 cup
- Banana 1 small
- Almond butter 1 tbsp
Method
-
Prepare the banana.
Peel the small banana and cut it into chunks. This helps it blend smoothly and evenly.
Tip: Use a ripe banana with brown spots for sweeter taste and creamier texture. -
Add ingredients to blender.
Place the banana chunks, 1 scoop of whey protein powder, 1 tablespoon of almond butter, and 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk into a blender.
Tip: Add the liquid first to help the blender work more efficiently. -
Blend until smooth.
Blend all ingredients on high speed until the mixture is creamy and smooth without lumps. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
Tip: Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula if needed to ensure everything blends evenly. -
Serve your smoothie bowl.
Pour the smoothie into a bowl. You can enjoy it as is or add toppings like sliced banana, nuts, or seeds if you like.
Tip: For a colder bowl, you can freeze the banana before blending.
Pro tips
- Use frozen banana chunks to make the smoothie bowl thicker and colder without adding ice.
- Add a handful of spinach or kale for extra nutrients without changing the flavor much.
