For the Smoothie Bowl:

Directions

Make the Smoothie Bowl

Prep the Frozen Fruit: Place frozen strawberries, banana slices, and blueberries into a blender.
Pulse to Chop: Pulse the frozen fruit until it’s in small, shredded pieces. Avoid blending on high to prevent the mixture from getting stuck or melting.

Add Liquid and Nut Butter: Add 4–6 tablespoons of dairy-free milk and almond butter, if using. Pulse or blend on low, stopping to move the mixture around as needed. If using a high-speed blender like a Vitamix, the tamper works well.
Achieve Desired Consistency: Blend until the mixture reaches a thick, frozen-yogurt-like consistency.

Assemble and Serve

Pour into a Bowl: Transfer the smoothie into a bowl.

Add Toppings: Garnish with your favorite toppings, such as shredded coconut, hemp seeds, cacao nibs, or dried fruit.
Serve Immediately: Enjoy your smoothie bowl right away for the best texture and flavor.

Servings and Timing

Yield: Serves 1

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes

Variations

Protein Boost: Add a scoop of plant-based protein powder.

Extra Greens: Include a handful of kale or spinach for added nutrients.
Tropical Twist: Replace blueberries with frozen mango or pineapple.
Nut-Free Option: Use sunflower seed butter or tahini instead of almond butter.

Sweeten Naturally: Blend in a Medjool date for extra sweetness.

Tips

Frozen Fruit: Use fully frozen fruit for the thickest, creamiest texture.
Blender Tips: A high-speed blender works best, but if using a regular blender, let the fruit thaw slightly for easier blending.

Liquid Amount: Start with the smallest amount of liquid possible to maintain a thick consistency. Add more as needed.

Storage

Refrigerator: Best enjoyed immediately. If necessary, refrigerate for up to 1 hour, but the texture will soften.
Freezer: Freeze leftovers in a sealed container for up to 1 week. Let thaw slightly or re-blend before serving.

FAQs

Yes, skip the almond butter or use sunflower seed butter.

4. Can I add sweeteners?

The frozen banana provides natural sweetness, but you can add a drizzle of honey, agave, or maple syrup if desired.

5. What’s the best way to blend without a high-speed blender?

Pulse the frozen fruit to break it into smaller pieces, then add the liquid gradually while blending.
