I’ve been bitten by the banana bug lately…

As in, I’ve been eating a banana almost every day of the week! And that’s surprising for me, since I’ve never gotten into that habit before.

But, it’s not to say that I don’t love bananas, because I do! I really do…from this Baked Banana Bread Oatmeal, to that Banana Caramel French Toast Bake, these Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins, Banana Bread Scones, and Peanut Butter Banana Energy Bites, I love banana-flavored anything!

Lately, I’ve been slicing a banana and eating it with a dollop (or three) of peanut butter and a drizzle of honey. It serves as the perfect breakfast or snack!

And my latest obsession? This Banana Smoothie Bowl!

Filled with bananas, almond butter, and good-for-you ingredients, this breakfast smoothie bowl is a delicious way to start your day. Add your favorite toppings and your healthy, protein-filled bowl makes a deliciously simple breakfast or snack!

Tips for Making a Thick Smoothie Bowl 

  • Make sure to slice and freeze your bananas the night before making this banana bowl. If you use room temperature bananas, your smoothie mixture won’t be thick enough to eat with a spoon. 
  • Any type of milk will work for this recipe (dairy or non-dairy is fine). 
  • For an ultra thick smoothie breakfast bowl, add ice to the blender.
