Frozen Protein Smoothie Bowls

Ingredients

• 2 large frozen bananas, sliced
• 1 cup frozen mixed berries
• 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
• 1/2 cup coconut milk (canned)
• 2 tablespoons almond butter
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
• 1/4 cup granola
• 2 tablespoons coconut flakes
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 1/4 cup fresh berries for topping

Instructions

1. 1

   **Prepare frozen base**: Ensure bananas and berries are completely frozen. Remove from freezer 5 minutes before blending to slightly soften.

2. 2

   **Blend smoothie**: In a high-powered blender, combine frozen bananas, frozen berries, protein powder, coconut milk, almond butter, and honey. Blend until thick and creamy, scraping sides as needed.

3. 3

   **Achieve proper consistency**: Mixture should be thick enough to eat with a spoon, like soft-serve ice cream. Add more coconut milk if too thick, or more frozen fruit if too thin.

4. 4

   **Pre-freeze bowls**: Place serving bowls in freezer for 10 minutes to keep smoothie cold longer.

5. 5

   **Serve immediately or freeze**: For immediate serving, divide among chilled bowls. For frozen bowls, transfer to bowls and freeze for 2 hours until firm but scoopable.

6. 6

   **Add toppings**: Top with granola, coconut flakes, chia seeds, fresh berries, and any other desired toppings in decorative patterns.

7. 7

   **Serve**: If frozen solid, let sit for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly before eating.
