Strawberry and Banana Smoothie Bowl Ingredients:

1.5 cups frozen strawberries
1 frozen banana
1/3 cup soy milk

How to Make a Thick Strawberry and Banana Smoothie Bowl:

Prepare Your Blender or food processor:
- The key to making a thick smoothie bowl is to use a high-powered blender like a Vitamix with a tamper or a food processor and minimal liquid for best results. Both the banana and strawberries must be frozen to yield a thick texture.
Add Ingredients:
- Place the frozen strawberries, frozen banana, and soy milk into the blender.
Blend:
- Pulse the ingredients a few times, then start blending on low speed, gradually increasing to high. If the smoothie mixture stops blending, stop and scrape down the side of the blender, then start on low again. Continue blending while using the tamper to press the ingredients down towards the blades to help with blending.
- If your blender doesn’t have a tamper, you may need to add a bit more liquid.
- If using a food processor, you may need to occasionally stop and scrape down the sides. I make this strawberry banana smoothie bowl recipe in my Vitamix blender, but this Hamilton Beach food processor also works great to make this thick smoothie bowl.
Achieve Desired Consistency:
- Blend until the mixture is smooth and thick. It should be thick enough to eat with a spoon.
Serve:
- Pour the smoothie mixture into a bowl.
Optional Toppings:
- Add your favorite toppings, such as this easy low fodmap granola. I like to cut up some fresh strawberries and banana with granola for the best smoothie bowl toppings.

Tips and Substitutions:

To yield the best-tasting banana strawberry smoothie bowl, use a perfectly ripe banana and ripe strawberries to maximize the natural sweetness found in these fruits. If you prefer a sweeter smoothie bowl, you can add a touch of maple syrup.
You can add a couple more tablespoons of soy milk to help blend. If you want a thick smoothie bowl texture, be sure to use frozen fruit, and don’t add too much liquid. Instead, blend on low and push the fruit down the sides of the blender with a tamper to help blend with minimal liquid.
I chose to use soy milk because of its creamy texture, but any non-dairy milk, such as almond or oat milk, can be used to make a vegan smoothie bowl.
Top the smoothie bowl with hemp or chia seeds for healthy fats.
For a boost of protein, you can add a couple of scoops of unflavored collagen powder, which will not affect the taste or texture of the smoothie.
Add a tsp of vanilla extract or spice with a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg.
