Strawberry Shortcake Smoothie Bowl Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups frozen strawberries
• 1 banana, sliced
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1/2 cup granola
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (for topping)

Instructions

1. In a blender, combine the frozen strawberries, banana, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, and honey. Blend until smooth and thick.
2. Pour the smoothie into two bowls, creating a nice, even base.
3. Top each bowl with granola, fresh strawberry slices, and a dollop of Greek yogurt.
4. Sprinkle with additional toppings like chia seeds or a drizzle of honey if desired.
5. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing taste!

Helpful Tips

For an added touch of crunch, you can substitute the granola with crushed nuts or seeds. If you prefer a sweeter taste, adjust the honey to suit your preference. Don’t hesitate to get creative with your toppings—try adding coconut flakes, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a few mint leaves to enhance the flavor. This smoothie bowl can also be made dairy-free by using plant-based milk and yogurt.

Storage Instructions

While this smoothie bowl is best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare the base and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good stir before serving and add the toppings right before eating.

Pairings

This Strawberry Shortcake Smoothie Bowl pairs beautifully with a side of whole grain toast topped with avocado or a light scrambled egg for a more filling breakfast. Drinking a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice or a cup of herbal tea can complement the freshness of the bowl perfectly.
