Strawberry Banana Almond Smoothie Bowl (Printable)

Refreshingly thick strawberry banana blend topped with fresh fruit, crunchy almonds, and wholesome hemp seeds.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Smoothie Base

01 - 1 cup frozen strawberries
02 - 1 ripe banana, fresh or frozen, sliced
03 - 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
04 - 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or non-dairy yogurt
05 - 1 tablespoon almond butter
06 - 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

→ Toppings

07 - 1/3 cup sliced fresh strawberries
08 - 1/2 banana, sliced
09 - 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
10 - 2 tablespoons hemp seeds
11 - 2 tablespoons granola (gluten-free, if needed)
12 - 1 tablespoon shredded coconut (optional)

# How-To Steps:

01 - Combine frozen strawberries, banana, almond milk, yogurt, almond butter, and honey or maple syrup (if using) in a blender. Blend until completely smooth and thick, about 1-2 minutes.
02 - Divide the smoothie mixture evenly between two serving bowls. Use a spatula to scrape all blended mixture from the blender and smooth the surface.
03 - Artfully arrange fresh strawberry slices, banana slices, sliced almonds, hemp seeds, granola, and shredded coconut (if using) on top of each bowl in sections or rows.
04 - Serve the smoothie bowls right away with spoons while the base is still thick and frozen and the toppings remain crunchy.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The contrast between icy cold smoothie and room temperature toppings makes every spoon interesting
  • Hemp seeds and almonds add protein that actually keeps you full until lunch
  • It looks like something from a café but comes together in the time it takes to toast bread
02 -
  • If your smoothie base is too thin, the toppings will sink immediately, so blend it thicker than you think you need
  • Eat this right away because frozen bases melt and lose that magical texture surprisingly fast
  • The ratio of frozen to fresh fruit matters, so do not swap the frozen strawberries for fresh ones
03 -
  • Let your frozen fruit sit on the counter for five minutes before blending to save your blender motor
  • Warm your almond butter slightly if it has separated and is hard to measure
