Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup frozen strawberries (150g)
  • 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (~30g)
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (180ml)
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (60g)
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • For the Homemade Granola:
  • 1 cup rolled oats (90g)
  • 1/3 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans) (40g)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Granola (20-25 minutes): Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, chopped nuts, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and salt. Melt coconut oil with maple syrup and pour over dry ingredients. Stir until evenly coated. Spread on parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through. Let cool completely.
  2. Blend the Smoothie Bowl (5-7 minutes): In a high-speed blender, combine frozen strawberries, mashed banana, vanilla protein powder, almond milk, and Greek yogurt. Blend until smooth and thick. Adjust thickness by adding more almond milk or frozen strawberries/ice as needed.
  3. Sweeten to Taste: Add honey or maple syrup if desired and blend briefly to mix.
  4. Assemble Your Bowl: Pour smoothie into a bowl and top generously with cooled homemade granola. Garnish with fresh sliced strawberries or banana if desired.

Notes

Use frozen fruit to achieve thick, spoonable texture. Stir granola halfway through baking to avoid burning. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creaminess. Protein powder should be mild vanilla or unflavored to avoid overpowering fruit flavor. Granola can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container for up to two weeks. Smoothie bowl is best enjoyed fresh. For vegan version, use plant-based protein powder, coconut yogurt, and maple syrup instead of honey.
