Strawberry Banana Smoothie Bowl

The strawberry banana smoothie is a classic. It’s always been a favorite of mine.

This Strawberry Banana Smoothie Bowl is made with a little less liquid than a classic banana smoothie and with toppings.

It’s easy to make with only four ingredients – strawberries, banana, milk, and ground flaxseed.

Strawberries: Strawberries are high in fiber and low in calories. They add a great flavor to the smoothie. I like to use frozen strawberries to skip the ice, but you could also use fresh strawberries.

Bananas: Bananas contain potassium, antioxidants, fiber, and aid in digestion. They also add a great flavor to the smoothie.

Milk: Any type of milk can be used in the smoothie bowl: dairy milk, almond milk, oat milk. I prefer to use almond milk. Almond milk provides a silky consistency to the smoothie while giving a lightly sweet flavor.
You could alternatively use water or juice in place of milk.

Ground flaxseed: Flaxseed is seen as a super food and adds yet another health factor to the smoothie. It provides health benefits while not altering the flavor of the smoothie.

Health benefits of ground flaxseed:

• Rich in dietary fiber
• Contains protein
• Contains iron
• Contains Omega-3 essential fatty acids
• Very subtle flavor

How to make the Strawberry Banana Smoothie Bowl:

Add fruit to a blender. I like to use frozen fruit so that I can skip the ice, but you could use fresh fruit and add ice to the blender.

Add your choice of liquid: milk, water, juice.

Add the ground flaxseeds and blend until smooth. The consistency should be a little thicker than a smoothie.

Pour into a bowl and add toppings.

Topping ideas:

• Berries: strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries
• Sliced banana
• Sliced almonds
• Shredded coconut
• Chocolate chips
• Cacao nibs
• Nut butter: peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter
• Honey or agave
