Print Recipe

A quick and easy smoothie bowl blending frozen blueberries, ripe banana, protein powder, Greek yogurt, and chia seeds for a creamy, nutritious breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) frozen blueberries
  • 1 large ripe banana, peeled and sliced
  • 1 scoop (~30g) protein powder (vanilla whey or plant-based)
  • ½ cup (120g) plain full-fat Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • ½ cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk (adjust as needed)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Fresh blueberries and banana slices for topping
  • Granola or nuts (optional, for added texture and crunch)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: peel and slice the banana, measure out frozen blueberries, protein powder, and other ingredients.
  2. Add frozen blueberries, banana slices, protein powder, Greek yogurt, almond milk, chia seeds, honey (if using), and vanilla extract to the blender. Add liquids last.
  3. Blend on low speed, then increase to high. Blend for 45-60 seconds until thick and creamy. Add more almond milk if too thick and pulse a few times.
  4. Stop and scrape down the sides with a spatula if needed, then blend again briefly to achieve a velvety, dense texture.
  5. Pour into serving bowl and top with fresh blueberries, banana slices, granola, or nuts. Sprinkle chia seeds on top if desired.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

Notes

Use frozen fruit to keep the bowl thick and creamy. Add almond milk gradually to avoid a watery texture. Vanilla-flavored whey or plant-based protein powders work best. Pulse blending if your blender is not very powerful. Prepare toppings ahead to save time. For vegan or dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and use plant-based protein powder and non-dairy milk.
