Ingredients for a Strawberry Banana Smoothie Bowl
Frozen strawberries: Use frozen rather than fresh strawberries to give the smoothie bowl its thick, icy texture.
Banana: A ripe banana adds natural sweetness and makes the smoothie extra creamy.
Greek yogurt: Adds creaminess and helps create a thick, spoonable consistency. Plain, strawberry, or vanilla yogurt will all work.
Milk: Use any milk you like. Start with ½ cup and only add more if needed.
Maple syrup: Adds a little extra sweetness. Honey or agave syrup can also be used.
Strawberry Banana Smoothie Bowl Topping Ideas
The best part of a smoothie bowl is the toppings! Mix and match your favorites depending on what you have on hand.
Fresh fruit: Sliced strawberries, banana, raspberries, blueberries, or kiwi.
Crunch: Granola, toasted coconut, chopped almonds, walnuts, or pumpkin seeds.
Extra protein: Peanut butter, almond butter, Greek yogurt, or hemp seeds.
Seeds: Chia seeds, flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, or hemp seeds.
Something sweet: A drizzle of honey or maple syrup, cacao nibs, or a few dark chocolate chips.
My favorite: Sliced strawberries and banana, crunchy granola, chia seeds, and a drizzle of peanut butter.
How to Make a Strawberry Banana Smoothie Bowl
1. Add the ingredients.
Add the frozen strawberries, banana, Greek yogurt, milk, and maple syrup to a high-speed blender.
2. Blend until thick and creamy.
Blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed. For a thick, spoonable smoothie bowl, use as little extra milk as possible. If your blender is struggling, add milk just one tablespoon at a time.
3. Add your toppings.
Spoon the smoothie into a bowl and top with sliced strawberries, banana, granola, chia seeds, nuts, or a drizzle of peanut butter. Serve straight away while it's thick and cold.
Tips & Tricks
Use frozen strawberries. They’re the key to getting a thick, creamy smoothie bowl rather than a drinkable smoothie.
Use a ripe banana. The riper the banana, the naturally sweeter and creamier your bowl will be.
Go easy on the milk. Start with the recommended amount and only add more one tablespoon at a time if your blender needs help.
Eat it straight away. Smoothie bowls start to soften as they sit, so add your toppings and enjoy while it’s thick and cold.
❓FAQS
You can, but it’s best enjoyed fresh! 🍓 Blend everything except the toppings, pour it into an airtight container, and freeze.
When you’re ready to eat, let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes, then stir or re-blend until creamy again.
No. A high-speed blender makes blending frozen fruit easier, but a regular blender will work too. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed, and add a little extra milk only if necessary.
Use frozen strawberries and keep the amount of liquid to a minimum. If you want it even thicker, you can also use frozen banana instead of fresh banana.
Yes. You can leave out the yogurt and use a little less milk, or replace it with a dairy-free yogurt for a similar creamy texture.
Yes, but the smoothie bowl will be much thinner. For the best thick, spoonable texture, frozen strawberries work best. If using fresh strawberries, try using a frozen banana.
