Banana Protein Smoothie Bowl

About This Recipe

This smoothie bowl is a five-minute breakfast powerhouse — frozen bananas blended with protein powder and a splash of milk into a thick, ice-cream-like base, then loaded with crunchy granola, fresh berries, nut butter, and chia seeds. It feels like dessert but fuels your morning with protein and fibre.

2. 2

   Pour

   Pour the blended mixture into a bowl.

3. 3

   Top

   Arrange granola, mixed berries, nut butter, and chia seeds on top in sections.

4. 4

   Serve

   Drizzle with honey if desired and eat immediately with a spoon.

Variations

• •

  Add a handful of spinach for a green smoothie bowl — the banana masks the taste.

• •

  Swap banana for frozen mango and coconut milk for a tropical version.

• •

  Vegetarian: swap the protein for roasted king oyster mushrooms, smoked tofu or cooked chickpeas — adjust seasoning slightly upward to compensate.

• •

  Spicier: add a finely chopped fresh chile or a teaspoon of crushed Aleppo/Urfa pepper to the aromatics for warm, layered heat instead of a single sharp hit.

Storage

Not suitable for storage. Consume immediately after blending.
