Equipment Needed

Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Fruit
If possible, slice the banana into 1-inch pieces and freeze it for at least 1–2 hours (or overnight). This helps create that thick, spoonable smoothie texture.
Step 2: Blend
Add the frozen banana, strawberries, pineapple chunks, and yogurt to a food processor or blender. Process for 2–4 minutes, scraping down the sides with a spatula as needed, until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Serve & Top
Scoop the smoothie into bowls. Add your favorite toppings—from fruits and seeds to granola and coconut—and enjoy immediately.
Nutritional Benefits
- Greek yogurt: Packed with protein, probiotics, and calcium.
- Bananas: High in potassium and natural sweetness.
- Berries: Loaded with antioxidants and vitamin C.
- Pineapple: A great source of bromelain and digestive enzymes.
- Toppings: Nuts and seeds provide healthy fats and extra fiber.
Tips for Success
- Use frozen fruit: This is key for the thick texture. If using fresh fruit, add a handful of ice to help firm it up.
- Skip the juice: Don’t add extra liquid unless necessary—it’ll turn your bowl into a drink.
- Low sugar tip: Use unsweetened yogurt or plain Greek yogurt to keep sugars in check.
- Make it vegan: Swap in plant-based yogurt and you’ve got a 100% vegan-friendly breakfast.
- Boost it: Add a scoop of protein powder or a tablespoon of nut butter for a more filling option.
Flavor Variations
- Tropical Vibe: Add mango and coconut milk instead of yogurt.
- Green Goodness: Toss in a handful of spinach or kale for an extra nutrient boost.
- Berry Blast: Use mixed berries instead of strawberries for a tarter twist.
- Chocolate Dream: Add a teaspoon of cocoa powder and top with dark chocolate shavings.
Make-Ahead & Storage
- Prep tip: Keep pre-measured frozen fruit in zip-top bags for grab-and-blend mornings.
- Not ideal for storage: This smoothie bowl is best enjoyed fresh. If you must store it, keep it in an airtight container in the fridge and consume within a few hours.
- Frozen meal prep: Blend the base and freeze in an ice cube tray. Blend with a splash of milk or yogurt when ready to eat.
