Simple Ingredients

Strawberry banana smoothie bowl ingredients in small glass bowls.

Coconut milk-I love the canned coconut milk from Trader Joe’s. It is super clean and only consists of coconut and water!
Collagen powder-My go to protein powder. You can use whey or pea protein in place if you would like. I like collagen peptides because they are so good for my hair and skin!
Bananas-This is what makes the smoothie nice and thick. It gives the creamy consistency to the bowl. If you like your smoothies cold, I suggest using a frozen banana.
Strawberries-To give this dairy free smoothie that strawberry flavor!

Recipe Substitutions and Variations

Favorite toppings– While there are endless options, my favorites are coconut flakes, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, fresh fruit, frozen fruit and cacao nibs.
Nut butters-Peanut butter or almond butter are good sources of healthy fats. If you like a thick smoothie bowl, I definitely suggest adding some nut butters in. It gives this recipe a thick consistency and a creamy texture. If you like a crunchy texture, you can use crunchy peanut butter.
Milk of choice-While I like dairy free milk like almond milk, oat milk, or cashew milk, you can also use regular milk.
Greek yogurt-If you do not want to add protein powder and want a higher protein option, consider adding greek yogurt.

Tips For Making The Best Smoothies

Tip #1: Make sure there is enough liquid. This will make for the perfect consistency and really help blend things up. Sometimes I like to add a splash of coconut water if I have it on hand.
Tip #2: If you are meal prepping your smoothies or have leftover smoothie, always shake them up prior to drinking.
Tip #3: Be sure to scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure that everything gets mixed in.
