Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 frozen bananas peeled before freezing
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries
  • 2/3 cup plant-based milk
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds optional
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt optional

Equipment

  • high-speed blender

Method
 

  1. Freeze ripe, peeled bananas in chunks ahead of time.
  2. Add frozen banana, frozen blueberries, plant-based milk, chia seeds, vanilla, and salt to a blender.
  3. Blend until thick and smooth, adding a small splash more milk only if needed to get the blades moving.
  4. Transfer to a bowl immediately using a spatula.
  5. Top with fresh fruit, granola, coconut flakes, or nut butter, and serve right away.

Notes

  • Use fully frozen fruit, not fresh, for a properly thick, scoopable texture.
  • Start with the smallest amount of liquid possible, you can always add more, but it's hard to thicken a bowl back up once it's too thin.
  • This recipe doesn't hold up well made ahead, blend and eat immediately for the best texture.
  • Serves 1 large bowl or splits into 2 smaller portions.
