Ingredients
Base
- 1 1/4 cups frozen strawberries
- 1 frozen banana, sliced
- 2/3 cup oat milk
Toppings
- 5 fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 banana, sliced
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp granola
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all the necessary ingredients including frozen strawberries, frozen banana slices, oat milk, fresh strawberry slices, fresh banana slices, chia seeds, and granola.
- Soften Fruit: Place the frozen strawberries, frozen banana slices, and oat milk into a blender. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the fruit to soften slightly for easier blending.
- Blend Smooth: Start blending on low speed and gradually increase until the mixture becomes thick and smooth. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure all ingredients are evenly combined without over-blending.
- Assemble Bowl and Serve: Pour the thick smoothie mixture into a bowl. Top it with fresh slices of strawberries and banana, sprinkle with chia seeds and granola for a delightful crunch, then enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Use frozen fruits to achieve a thick, creamy texture without needing ice.
- Allowing the fruit to thaw slightly before blending makes the process easier and yields a smoother consistency.
- Feel free to substitute oat milk with any plant-based or dairy milk according to preference.
- Add a scoop of protein powder or nut butter to boost protein content if desired.
- Consume immediately for best texture and freshness.
