Ingredients For Your Strawberry Banana Smoothie Bowl
- Coconut milk (solids). Coconut solids is the fat/cream at the top of the can when you open up coconut milk. It makes this smoothie thick and creamy while adding good-for-you fat. Coconut milk is said to aid in weight loss, contain antioxidants, have anti-inflammatory properties, and strengthen the immune system among other benefits. Any milk or milk alternative can be used but substitutes can lessen the thickness of this smoothie bowl.
- Strawberries. Frozen for a thicker Smoothie Bowl. Slice them to blend more easily.
- Bananas. Frozen works best and gives it the consistency of a milkshake.
- Shredded Coconut.

How To Make A Strawberry Banana Smoothie Bowl
Making a smoothie bowl is so easy because all you have to do is put the ingredients you want to be pureed into a blender and pulse it until you get your desired consistency. Then pour it into a bowl and add the mix-ins you love like hemp seeds or fruit. That’s it! Simple, delicious and so good for you.
Step One. Put all the ingredients in a blender and pulse.
Step Two. Add mix-ins and enjoy.
Substitutions & Additions
I love adding protein powder, chia seeds, ground flax, and hemp seeds or nut butter for
additional protein.
Add fresh spinach. The color is ghastly but it’s delicious. Fresh beets, cauliflower or
avocado would be delicious too.
Top with shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or a few mini chocolate chips.
Stir in or top it with some Vanilla Granola.
Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of Agave or Honey for more sweetness
How To Store Strawberry Banana Smoothie Bowls
How long do smoothies last?
Store leftovers in a mason jar in the fridge for 24 hours and use a fork to mix it back together if it settles.
Freeze in ziplock bags. Allow to thaw slightly for a smoothie or eat frozen for a frozen treat. Strawberry Banana Smoothie Bowls are best eaten right away.
Can Smoothie Bowls be refrigerated?
No, I don’t recommend storing them in the refrigerator. It will separate and be unappetizing once it is no longer frozen.
Can I Freeze Smoothie Bowls?
Yes, freeze & reblend pour it into popsicle molds or freezer-safe containers for a delicious snack that tastes like ice cream!
