No reviews

๐Ÿฅ„ A creamy, spoonable smoothie bowl that holds its shape like soft serve โ€” perfect for loading up with your favorite toppings.
๐ŸŒ Made with only frozen fruit and a splash of liquid, this never-watery bowl is a satisfying breakfast or post-workout treat.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 1 bowl 1x

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups frozen banana slices (or mixed frozen fruit such as mango, berries, or peaches)

1/4 cup almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk

1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (optional, for extra creaminess)

1 tablespoon nut butter, chia seeds, or protein powder (optional)

1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

1-Prepare ingredients: Prep 2 cups of frozen fruit and any add-ins, and set your toppings aside.

2-Add liquid to blender: Pour 1/4 cup of your chosen milk or liquid into the blender.

3-Add frozen fruit and mix-ins: Add the frozen fruit along with yogurt, nut butter, cocoa, or other mix-ins.

4-Blend on low then high: Start blending on low speed, scrape down sides, then blend on high briefly until smooth.

5-Stop blending at the right time: Stop as soon as the mixture is smooth and creamy to avoid thawing and thinning.

6-Transfer to serving bowl: Scoop the thick mixture into a bowl; it should hold a peak like soft serve.

7-Add toppings right away: Add your toppings immediately, as the bowl will soften at room temperature.

Notes

๐ŸงŠ Always use frozen fruit only โ€” never fresh fruit or ice cubes, which release water and thin the bowl.
๐Ÿฅ„ If the blender stalls, scrape down the sides and under the blade instead of adding more liquid; add only 1 tablespoon at a time if absolutely needed.
โฑ๏ธ Blend just until smooth and creamy โ€” over-blending warms and thaws the mixture, ruining the thick spoonable texture.
