Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Smoothie Base
  • 2 large frozen banana ripe, peeled and frozen overnight
  • 3 tbsp Nutella
  • 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk plus more as needed
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch of salt enhances the chocolate
For Topping
  • 0.25 cup granola
  • 0.5 cup fresh strawberries sliced
  • 2 tbsp chopped toasted hazelnuts
  • 1 tbsp shredded coconut optional

Equipment

  • High-Speed Blender
  • Rubber spatula

Method
 

Make the Smoothie Base
  1. Add frozen banana chunks, Nutella, almond milk, vanilla, and salt to your blender. Start on low speed, then increase to high. Use your rubber spatula to push ingredients down as needed. Blend until completely smooth and thick, about 60-90 seconds. The mixture should be spoonable, not pourable - like soft-serve texture. If too thick to blend, add almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time.
Assemble and serve immediately
  1. Divide the smoothie base between two shallow bowls. Use the back of your spoon to spread it flat and create a slight well in the center - this holds your toppings in place.
  2. Arrange granola, strawberry slices, and toasted hazelnuts in sections over the top. Sprinkle with coconut if using. Serve immediately with a spoon - this is not a drink, it's meant to be eaten with a spoon while cold and thick.

Notes

For the thickest texture, freeze your banana slices flat on a parchment-lined baking sheet before bagging - this prevents clumping. No hazelnuts? Substitute chopped almonds or a drizzle of extra Nutella. The smoothie base can be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw 10 minutes at room temperature before blending again to serve.
