Strawberry Banana Smoothie Bowl

Jan 30, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe

This is such a healthy refreshing snack, breakfast or dessert. A strawberry banana smoothie bowl delivers all the taste and yumminess with none of the guilt. So easy to make and to adapt!

Why make a strawberry banana smoothie bowl?

It’s a really fun upgrade on your typical smoothie, especially because you can be creative with the toppings. Unlike a smoothie which is drinkable, a smoothie bowl is a little thicker and comes with a lot of options for great toppings. It’ll fill you right up!

This is a healthy way of getting in something a little sweeter, it’s almost like a healthy take on ice cream!

Kids will love this too, and it’s a great way to get some fruit and fiber in them.

This is such an adaptable recipe. You can throw in any of the fruit you have on hand, and top it with your favorite toppings.

You just need a handful ingredients for the base of the bowl. And it’s so easy to make!

Ingredients for a smoothie bowl:

Frozen strawberries and a frozen banana: I really like frozen fruit in a smoothie bowl, it adds a creamy coldness and thickens the texture. Whenever I have bananas that get too ripe, I do one of two things. Either make banana bread, or peel and freeze them in a freezer bag to have on hand to throw into smoothies.

You don’t need to buy frozen berries, if you have fresh strawberries on hand, just wash, remove the leaves and stick them in the freezer.

Milk of choice: You can use regular milk, oat milk, almond milk, coconut milk or any milk you prefer!

Maple syrup or honey: Just a touch to add sweetness to the bowl. I really like adding some, but you can leave them out if you prefer.

Nut butter: Another optional mix- in. I absolutely love the subtle nutty flavor that adding almond butter or peanut butter adds, but you can leave this out entirely. I prefer using the healthy nut butters, the ones that are just nuts without sugar added.

Vegan smoothie bowl:

To make this smoothie bowl vegan, just use a plant based milk like oat milk almond milk, or coconut milk, and use maple syrup instead of honey. It’s that easy!

How to make a smoothie bowl:

All you need to do is add all the ingredients to the bowl of a blender and mix until smooth, creamy, and combined. You want to make sure you have a good blender that’ll handle mixing up frozen fruit. To make it easier, you can cut the bananas into thick slices.

Once you’ve mixed all the ingredients, give the mixture a taste. If you think it’s too thick, add another splash of milk. If you want more sweetness, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.

I recommend having your toppings ready to go so you can instantly top and enjoy the bowl before it starts to melt and thin.

Smoothie bowl toppings:

I really like loading this with toppings. I’ll put all the fresh fruit I have on hand, like sliced banans and berries like extra strawberries, blueberries, blackberries etc. Pomegranate seeds are also amazing on a smoothie bowl.

I usually add some form of nuts, like chopped pecans, walnuts or shredded coconut. I also like adding another scoop of nut butter on top, and sometimes an extra drizzle of honey. Granola is another amazing addition. Love the crunch and sweetness it gives.

Be creative! You can add mango cubes, chocolate chips, pineapple chunks, chia seeds, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, cacao nibs, a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Strawberry Banana Smoothie Bowl

Creamy, fruity, and delicious, this smoothie bowl will deliver on taste and texture and keep you full for hours! Such a great way to start off the day, or a good midday energy boost!

Good morning! If there’s one thing we like doing Good morning! If there’s one thing we like doing, it’s experimenting with breakfast dishes 🍳.These beauties are froached eggs- poached eggs that are lightly fried and seasoned with breadcrumbs. Best of both worlds! Creamy poached eggs, runny yolk but a little crisp on the white part of the eggs. So good! Inspired by @sveverything , we used our sous vide machine for this but you can do this with regular poached eggs. Recipe can be found linked in bio or at https://everylittlecrumb.com/froached-eggs/ . Team runny yolk anyone?

How I spend a lot of my weekends😂. Nothing like How I spend a lot of my weekends😂. Nothing like a big bowl of cookie dough to say weekend mode on! Are you like me and end up eating more dough than actual cookies? My foolproof recipe I use and post time and time again 👇🏼(and often double the batch so I can store some in the freezer!)

Ingredients:
1 stick butter, softened 113 g
3/4 cup tightly packed brown sugar (I like using 1/2 cup light brown and 1/4 cup dark brown, but you can use either or) 150 g total
1/4 cup white sugar 50 g
1 egg, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 3/4 cup all purpose flour 220 g
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
flaky salt for topping, optional

Instructions:
-In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, or a handheld mixer, cream together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar for 5 minutes on medium speed until light and fluffy.
-Once five minutes is over, add in egg and vanilla and mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt, and mix until combined. Add these dry ingredients to the butter mixture on low speed, and mix until just combined.
-Using a wooden spoon or spatula, mix in chocolate chips or chunks until just combined. Place bowl of dough in fridge for at least 30 minutes to chill.
-While dough is chilling, heat oven to 180 C (350F). Portion dough out into heaped 1 tbsp-2 tbsp sized dough pieces on parchment paper lined baking sheets. 
-Bake for 11-12 minutes or until golden brown on the edges but still soft in the center. Cool until cookies firm up, then enjoy, still warm.

Have you tried this pasta yet? Save this for your Have you tried this pasta yet? Save this for your next weeknight meal! Saucy macarona iltaybeen, can’t get much more comforting.  Adapted from @jedir3waish , makes for an easy delicious main that’ll make your family including kids very happy! Can find a step by step linked bio, or at https://everylittlecrumb.com/macarona/ , or in my story!

INGREDIENTS:
 
2 tbsp olive oil, divided
big pinch of salt
3 heaped tbsp tomato paste, divided 2 oz or 70 g
1 pack elbow macaroni 14 oz or 400 g
1 onion, very finely diced
1 zucchini, finely diced
1 carrot, finely diced
4-5 garlic cloves, minced
250 g ground beef
1 tsp seven spices
1 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp paprika powder
1/4 tsp basil
1/4 tsp cinnamon powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
1 can crushed tomatoes 14.5oz (400g)

NSTRUCTIONS
 
Bring a large pot of water to boil, add 1 tbsp olive oil and the salt, one tbsp of tomato paste, then the pack of pasta. Cook until al dente, then drain the pasta, reserving the pasta water. Set cooked pasta aside.

In a large skillet, heat the remaining tbsp of olive oil. Once hot, add the diced onion, and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add the diced zucchini and carrots, and garlic and cook for a further 4-5 minutes until softened slightly.

Add the ground beef, and cook, smushing with a wooden spoon to break up the meat. Keep cooking until the beef is browned and cooked through, then optionally, drain the fat.
Add in the salt, pepper, and all the spices. Cook for another minute or so. Add the remaining 2 tbsp of tomato paste, and stir.

Add the can of crushed tomatoes and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, then add a big ladleful of the reserved pasta water and simmer for 2-3 minutes on low heat.

Add the pasta to the sauce (I don't always add all the pasta, maybe 3/4 of the cooked amount until the finished dish is as saucy as I like). Stir to coat, cook for another minute or so until the pasta is warmed through, then enjoy!

Easiest at home crusty bread with a great open cru Easiest at home crusty bread with a great open crumb texture. It’s the no knead bread from @breadin5 and has yet to fail me. Check my story for the step by step, and swipe for a video reveal.

Ingredients for two small loaves:
1.5 cups lukewarm water 
1/2 tbsp any type of yeast
1/2 tbsp salt
3 1/4 cup plain flour (450g)

Method:
In a large bowl, stir together the water with the yeast and salt. Try to dissolve but it’s fine if you have clumps.
2. Add flour all at once and stir, just until no flour patches remain.
3. Cover loosely with a kitchen cloth and leave it to rest for 2 hours in a warm place until risen and bubbly.
After this rest you can:
- Use dough immediately if impatient, but it’s easier to work with if cold, so maybe pop in fridge briefly
- Or, their recommended method and the one I do, leave in the fridge loosely covered for 12 hours or overnight. 
Refrigerated dough lasts up to two weeks, and flavor depends over time!
4. The next day, the dough might look deflated. That’s fine! When ready to bake, divide dough in half (I got two 400g dough balls)- it might be easier to handle if you sprinkle the dough lightly with flour, and take the half you are going to bake out of the fridge. Let it rest on a parchment paper lined baking sheet 40-90 minutes. The longer the more interior bubbles you should have. Preheat oven to 235C (450F), and after rest, make a few deep slashes in the dough with a sharp knife.
5. Place in the middle rack of the oven, and on the bottom rack place a roasting pan that had about a cup of hot water in it. This will create steam which gives a crustier crust!
6. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until deep golden brown.
7. Let it cool completely before enjoying!

Good morning! With dine in still closed in Saudi, Good morning! With dine in still closed in Saudi, Friday pancakes are fast becoming a tradition. And honestly, I don’t think I’ve had better pancakes at any restaurant recently! The easiest, fluffiest diner style pancakes are a huge hit in our family, find the recipe below adapted from @allrecipes . I like to barely warm the oven (110C or so) and keep the finished pancakes in a pan in the oven until I’m done with all the batter so they stay warm and perfect 👌🏼.

Ingredients
3/4 cup milk 170g
1 tbsp white vinegar
1 cup flour 125g
2 tbsp sugar 25g
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg room temperature
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 tbsp butter, melted 28g

Instructions:
-In a large bowl, combine the milk and vinegar, and let aside to stand for 5 minutes until curdled. Whisk to combine.
-In a separate large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
-Add an egg, the vanilla and the melted butter to the buttermilk and whisk to combine.
-Add the dry ingredients all at once to the wet, and whisk until flour patches disappear. A few lumps are fine, but don't over mix.
-Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes while you heat a pan on the stove.
lightly grease the pan with nonstick spray or butter, and pour about 1/4 cup of batter on the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. (Flip the first time once you see bubbles form and the edges of the pancake dry up).
-Enjoy with toppings of your choice!

One of my photos from my shoot @tackle.baks . How One of my photos from my shoot @tackle.baks . How insane does this tom yum soup look? For those who haven’t tried this casual seafood spot yet, you really should! The food is great and priced very reasonably, and they have some menu items I’m obsessed with like their crispy fish burger, the salmon poke salad and the creamy truffle shrimp👌🏼. They currently have a delivery offer going for only 5SAR on HungerStation, so no time like the present! Have I tempted you with this photo of the tom yum soup? I’m hungry just writing this caption🤤.
