Ingredients Needed
You do not need any fancy items to make this delicious morning bowl. Here is everything you need to grab from your fridge and pantry:
-
* 2 frozen bananas cut into chunks
* 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter
* Half a cup of almond milk or regular milk
* 1 tablespoon of chia seeds
* A handful of fresh berries for topping
* A small sprinkle of granola for crunch
* A tiny drizzle of honey if you want it sweeter
Step By Step Making
Making this smoothie bowl is so easy that even a total beginner can do it on the first try. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Put your frozen banana chunks into the blender first. Using frozen fruit is the big secret to making the bowl thick instead of runny.
2. Pour the milk and the peanut butter right on top of the bananas.
3. Put the lid on your blender and pulse it a few times to break up the fruit. Then, turn it on high until the mix looks totally smooth and creamy.
4. Stop the blender and check the thickness. If it is too thick and your blender is stuck, add just one extra spoonful of milk.
5. Pour your thick smoothie mixture into your favorite cereal bowl.
6. Take your fresh berries, chia seeds, and granola, and arrange them nicely on top of the smooth base.
7. Grab a spoon and dig right into your fresh morning meal.
