Strawberry Smoothie Bowl Recipe

This strawberry smoothie bowl is a perfectly balanced way to start your day (or add it as a snack!). With bananas, strawberries, Greek yogurt, and milk, this smoothie is so easy to put together with just a short list of ingredients. You get a punch of vitamin C and other antioxidants, potassium, fiber, and protein all in one bowl. It truly tastes like creamy, soft serve ice cream, but without all the added sugar!

What is a smoothie bowl?

A smoothie bowl carries the nutrient-density of a smoothie, but is thick enough to eat with a spoon. Smoothie bowls can also be topped with a variety of mix-ins–fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, and granola are some of my favorites!

Strawberry Smoothie Ingredients

To make this easy strawberry smoothie bowl, you just need a few simple and fresh ingredients, plus whatever toppings you desire! Here’s what you’ll need:

Strawberry smoothie ingredients on a wooden cutting board with ingredient labels written in white letters.
  • Strawberries – hence the name, you’ll need 2 cups of frozen strawberries to create the flavor base of this smoothie. 
  • Banana – for extra thickness, add 1 sliced banana.
  • Greek Yogurt – for tanginess and protein, a ½ cup of Greek yogurt heads into the blender next.
  • Milk – add a ½ cup of your milk of choice (whole milk, almond milk, oat milk, whichever you choose!) rounds out the ingredients.
  • Toppings (optional, but highly recommended) – for added texture, add your toppings of choice! My favorites include sliced banana, sliced strawberries, granola, and chia seeds. 

Optional Add-Ins

  • Protein Powder – if you’re looking for an added protein boost (in addition to the Greek yogurt), add a scoop of your favorite protein or collagen powder.
  • Flaxseed, Chia, or Nut Butter – for some healthy fats, add ground flaxseed, chia, or a nut butter (like peanut or almond butter). Not only will the fats keep you satiated longer, but they also help your body absorb vitamins more effectively. 
  • Leafy Greens – a handful of spinach adds to the fiber content and aids with digestion.

Is this smoothie bowl healthy?

Yes! I think so. The fruit, Greek yogurt, and milk provide for a healthy, well rounded snack or meal with no added sugars or sweeteners. 

  • Vitamins – strawberries and bananas are high in vitamin C and potassium and are an excellent source of many other vitamins. Strawberries contain magnesium, phosphorous, calcium, potassium, folate, and vitamin K, while bananas are a good source of dietary fiber and vitamin B6.
  • Antioxidants – both bananas and strawberries are rich in antioxidants that can help neutralize free radicals in the body.
  • Low-Glycemic – strawberries are also a low-glycemic fruit making them a great option for those who need to control or reduce their glucose levels.
  • Greek yogurt – Greek yogurt is protein-rich, high in calcium, and contains probiotics to support gut health.

The Key to Thick Smoothie Bowls

There are a few things you can do to make a thick smoothie bowl:

  • Use frozen fruit – the icy consistency helps keep your fruits from foaming and also adds a thicker consistency to your smoothie bowl. Use either frozen fruit or freeze your fresh fruit for 24 hours before making your smoothie.
  • Bananas – specifically, bananas are a key fruit that help thicken the texture.
  • Use less liquid –  the combination of Greek yogurt and milk help keep the consistency thicker.
  • High quality blender – this has a big impact on achieving the thickest, smoothest puree.

Smoothie Bowl Topping Ideas

Arguably my favorite part of a smoothie bowl is the toppings! There are truly limitless options that will add additional flavor, texture, nutrients, and FUN! Here are some ideas:

  • Granola – adds great flavor and crunch (like Purely Elizabeth)
  • Fresh Fruit – sliced strawberries and bananas bring extra fresh fruit flavor
  • Chia Seeds – add additional fiber and antioxidants
  • Nuts – sliced almonds or toasted coconut flakes make for a delicious add of healthy fats
