I am here to say that this strawberry banana smoothie bowl is my most frequent recipes that I make for myself. It’s beyond easy and is the most refreshing breakfast in summer. It’s packed with nutritious, satiating ingredients. It will keep you full for a long time thanks to its add ins like oats and flaxseed. Strawberries are the star here, but so is banana, avocado, and vanilla protein powder. Smoothie bowls are the perfect breakfast, snack, or even dessert in spring or summertime. Take a look at the recipe below for your new, healthy go-to.

What ingredients do I need?

Since smoothie bowls are essentially extra thick and packed smoothies, this one is no different. Many times however, smoothie bowls have more ingredients like oats and almond butter to make it more of a meal versus a snack. But essentially you will just need some basic smoothie ingredients, blend, and BAM. An extra thick and satisfying smoothie in the form of SOFT SERVE. What could be better?! Take a look below at the detailed ingredient list and topping recommendations!

Ingredients for the smoothie bowl:

Frozen strawberries
Frozen banana (or fresh)
Frozen avocado (or fresh*) Avocado makes this smoothie bowl extra creamy and smooth.
Vanilla protein powder (I use this brand)
Ground flaxseed (optional) I highly recommend this because of its health compounds and satiating properties!
Almond butter (or any nut/seed butter) This adds a delightful flavor!
Rolled oats (old-fashioned or gluten free!) Oats make this smoothie more balanced by adding whole grains and a subtle, nutty flavor.
Almond milk (coconut milk, cow’s milk, or any other milk will work great!)

Topping Ideas:

Cacao nibs
Sliced strawberries
Sliced bananas
Rolled oats or granola
Almond butter
Unsweetened coconut flakes
Hemp hearts
Chocolate chips
Honey

Allergen friendly?

I am so glad to let you know that this recipe is totally gluten free (use gf oats), dairy free*, vegan*, low FODMAP friendly*, and (best of all) loved by everyone! Just be sure to use a protein powder that suits your needs. If you’re not into protein powder or do not have any on hand, you can totally omit it for this recipe. I would add a bit of honey and vanilla extract to make up for any lack of “sweetness/flavor” if desired.
