Ingredients
  

For the Smoothie Base
  • 2 large bananas peeled, sliced, and frozen
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or other plant-based milk like oat or soy
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup optional, adjust to taste for sweetness
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • pinch salt enhances flavor
Suggested Toppings (choose a few)
  • 1/4 cup granola
  • 1/4 cup fresh berries such as strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries
  • 1 tbsp shredded coconut unsweetened
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds or hemp hearts
  • 1 tbsp sliced almonds or chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 Fresh banana sliced

Equipment

  • High-Speed Blender
  • Serving Bowls

Method
 

Prepare the Smoothie Base
  1. Combine the frozen bananas, unsweetened almond milk, maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a high-speed blender.
  2. Blend on low speed initially, gradually increasing to high, using a tamper if needed to push ingredients towards the blades. Continue blending until the mixture is completely smooth, thick, and resembles soft-serve ice cream. Be careful not to over-blend, which can warm the smoothie and reduce its thickness.
Assemble and Serve
  1. Divide the thick smoothie base evenly between two serving bowls.
  2. Garnish immediately with your desired toppings. Arrange them attractively on top of the smoothie for a beautiful and delicious finish. Serve right away to enjoy the best texture and coolness.

Notes

For an even thicker bowl, reduce the amount of almond milk slightly or add an extra frozen banana slice. You can also add a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder for an extra boost. For best results, ensure your bananas are thoroughly frozen. Store any leftover frozen banana slices in an airtight container in the freezer for future bowls.
