Strawberry Banana Smoothie Bowl with Granola and Chia Seeds

This recipe creates a thick, creamy, and refreshing smoothie bowl, perfect for a nutritious breakfast or a light meal. It’s easily customizable with your favorite toppings!

Yields: 1 large serving Prep time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

For the Smoothie Bowl:

• 1 cup (about 150g) frozen strawberries (hulled)
• 1 ripe banana, preferably frozen and sliced (this makes the smoothie thicker)
• 1/2 cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk like dairy milk, soy milk, oat milk, or coconut water)
• 1-2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or plain yogurt (optional, for extra creaminess and protein)
• 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup, honey, or agave nectar (optional, adjust to taste depending on fruit sweetness)

For Toppings (as seen in image and other popular options):

• 1/2 fresh banana, sliced
• 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced or quartered
• 1-2 tablespoons granola (rolled oats work too)
• 1 teaspoon chia seeds
• Optional: Toasted coconut flakes, a drizzle of nut butter, other fresh fruits (blueberries, raspberries), a sprinkle of hemp seeds or flax seeds

Equipment:

• High-speed blender

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare Your Frozen Fruit

1. Freeze Strawberries: If your strawberries aren’t already frozen, wash them, hull them, and place them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until solid. Once frozen, you can transfer them to a freezer-safe bag for later use.
2. Freeze Banana (Optional, but recommended): Peel a ripe banana and break it into 2-3 pieces. Place it in a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours until solid. Frozen banana is key for a super thick and creamy smoothie bowl. If you don’t have frozen banana, you can use a fresh one, but the smoothie bowl might be slightly less thick.

Step 2: Blend the Smoothie Base

1. Add Liquids First: Pour the unsweetened almond milk (or your chosen milk) into your high-speed blender. If using Greek yogurt, add it now too.
2. Add Frozen Fruit: Add the frozen strawberries and frozen banana slices to the blender.
3. Add Sweetener (Optional): If using, add the maple syrup, honey, or agave nectar. Start with 1/2 tablespoon and you can always add more later if needed.
4. Blend Until Smooth and Thick: Start blending on a low speed, then gradually increase to high. You may need to use the tamper attachment (if your blender has one) or stop and scrape down the sides a few times to help the ingredients combine. The goal is a very thick, creamy consistency that’s scoopable, not drinkable like a regular smoothie. If it’s too thick to blend, add liquid 1 tablespoon at a time until it blends smoothly. Avoid adding too much liquid, or your bowl won’t be thick enough.

Step 3: Assemble Your Smoothie Bowl

1. Pour into Bowl: Once blended to your desired thickness, carefully spoon the smoothie mixture into a serving bowl.
2. Arrange Toppings: Artfully arrange your prepared toppings over the top of the smoothie bowl.
   • Place the sliced fresh banana around one edge.
   • Arrange the sliced fresh strawberries along another edge.
   • Sprinkle the granola generously in the center or across one section.
   • Add the chia seeds next to or on top of the granola.
   • Add any other desired toppings like toasted coconut flakes or a drizzle of nut butter.

Step 4: Serve Immediately Enjoy your beautiful and delicious Strawberry Banana Smoothie Bowl right away! Smoothie bowls are best enjoyed immediately before they start to melt.

Tips for Success:

• For a Thicker Bowl: Use more frozen fruit and less liquid. Greek yogurt also helps with thickness.
• For a Sweeter Bowl: Add more maple syrup, honey, or a date (pitted).
• For a Protein Boost: Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder along with the other ingredients.
• Meal Prep: You can pre-portion frozen fruit and store them in individual freezer bags for quick smoothie bowls on busy mornings.

Coconut Mango Chia Pudding with Toasted Nuts and Ice Cream

This recipe creates a creamy, flavorful, and healthy dessert or breakfast, perfect for a warm day. The combination of sweet mango, rich coconut, and crunchy nuts with a scoop of cool vanilla ice cream is simply irresistible!

Yields: 2-3 servings Prep time: 15 minutes Chill time: 4 hours to overnight

Ingredients:

For the Coconut Chia Pudding:

• 1 cup (240ml) full-fat canned coconut milk (for creamier pudding) or light coconut milk
• 3-4 tablespoons chia seeds (adjust based on desired thickness)
• 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup, agave nectar, or honey (or to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, but recommended)
• Pinch of sea salt

For the Mango Puree & Cubes:

• 1 large ripe mango, peeled and roughly chopped (about 1.5 cups)
• 1/2 – 1 tablespoon maple syrup or sweetener (optional, depending on mango sweetness)
• 1/2 small ripe mango, diced into small cubes (for layering and topping)

For Toppings (as seen in image):

• 1-2 scoops vanilla ice cream per serving (or coconut cream/yogurt for a dairy-free option)
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans or almonds (or mixed nuts), lightly toasted
• Additional fresh mango cubes
• Optional: Toasted coconut flakes, fresh mint leaves

Equipment:

• Medium bowl or mason jars with lids
• Whisk
• Blender or food processor
• Small skillet (for toasting nuts)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Coconut Chia Pudding

1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl or directly in your serving jars, combine the coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup (or other sweetener), vanilla extract (if using), and a pinch of sea salt.
2. Whisk Well: Whisk vigorously for about 1-2 minutes until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined and there are no visible clumps of chia seeds. Chia seeds tend to clump if not mixed properly initially.
3. Rest and Re-Whisk: Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes. Then, whisk again to break up any new clumps that may have formed. This second stir is crucial for a smooth pudding.
4. Chill: Cover the bowl or jars and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the pudding has thickened to a gel-like consistency. If it’s too thick after chilling, you can stir in a splash more coconut milk or water to reach your desired consistency.

Step 2: Prepare the Mango Puree & Cubes

1. Make Puree: Take the larger portion of chopped mango (about 1.5 cups) and place it in a blender or food processor. Add 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of maple syrup if your mango isn’t very sweet, or if you prefer extra sweetness.
2. Blend until Smooth: Blend until you have a completely smooth and creamy mango puree.
3. Dice Mango: Dice the remaining half of the mango into small, even cubes. Set aside for layering and topping.

Step 3: Toast the Nuts (Optional, but recommended for flavor and crunch)

1. Heat Skillet: Place the chopped pecans or almonds in a dry, small skillet over low to medium-low heat.
2. Toast: Stir frequently until the nuts are lightly golden brown and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to burn them.
3. Cool: Remove from heat and transfer the toasted nuts to a plate to cool completely. This will make them extra crunchy.

Step 4: Assemble the Coconut Mango Chia Pudding

1. Layering: In your chosen serving bowls or glasses, create layers for an attractive presentation:
   • Start with a layer of the coconut chia pudding at the bottom.
   • Add a layer of mango puree.
   • Sprinkle a few diced mango cubes.
   • Repeat the layers until you reach the top of your bowl, ending with a layer of mango puree.
2. Add Toppings:
   • Place a generous scoop (or two!) of vanilla ice cream on top of the mango puree layer.
   • Generously sprinkle the toasted chopped pecans/almonds over the ice cream and mango.
   • Add a few more fresh mango cubes for garnish.
   • If desired, add a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes or a fresh mint leaf for extra appeal.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy! Serve immediately to enjoy the creamy pudding with the cool ice cream and crunchy nuts. Leftovers of the chia pudding (without ice cream and nuts) can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. You can assemble them fresh with toppings just before serving.

Enjoy your delightful and tropical Coconut Mango Chia Pudding!
