A quick and easy creamy protein smoothie bowl topped with crunchy granola, perfect for a nourishing breakfast or snack that feels like a hug in a bowl.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large frozen banana, peeled and sliced
  • 1 scoop vanilla-flavored protein powder
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
  • 1/2 cup (120 g) plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) crunchy granola
  • Fresh berries or sliced fruit for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice the banana if not already frozen. Measure out protein powder, almond milk, Greek yogurt, and other ingredients. (2 minutes)
  2. Add frozen banana, protein powder, almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and chia seeds (if using) into the blender. Blend on high for about 45 seconds to 1 minute until smooth and creamy. Stop to scrape down the sides if needed. The mixture should be thick but scoopable—like soft-serve ice cream consistency. (3 minutes)
  3. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more almond milk and pulse again briefly. If too thin, add a little more frozen banana or ice cubes and blend again. (1 minute)
  4. Pour the creamy smoothie base into your serving bowl. It should hold its shape but still be spoonable without running everywhere. (1 minute)
  5. Sprinkle crunchy granola evenly over the top. Add fresh berries or sliced fruit for extra flavor and color. (2 minutes)
  6. Serve immediately before the granola loses its crunch. If you need to wait, keep granola separate until serving to maintain texture.

Notes

Use fully frozen bananas for the best thick, creamy texture. Add granola just before serving to keep it crunchy. You can prep the smoothie base the night before and store in the fridge, but add granola fresh. For vegan version, use plant-based protein powder, coconut yogurt, and non-dairy milk. Adjust sweetness after blending as banana and vanilla may be sweet enough.
