Ingredients Needed
- Bananas. You want the bananas to be frozen. This is what thickens the smoothie bowl and adds some natural sweetness. I keep a bag of bananas in the freezer so I can just grab them and whip up a smoothie bowl. Whenever my bananas start to get too ripe I toss them in a freezer bag into the freezer.
- Almond butter. You can also use peanut butter or other nut butters. This adds flavor and protein.
- Cocoa Powder
- Honey. You could also use agave or maple syrup
- Milk. Almond milk or regular milk will work.
- Vanilla Extract. You could also use almond extract.
Topping Suggestions:
- Sliced bananas
