Strawberry Banana Smoothie Bowl

Smoothie bowls are a fun spoonable way to enjoy your favorite beverage.  You’ll mix up fruit and yogurt with just a little bit of milk to create an ultra-thick fruity delight.  This one is topped with chia and coconut, but you can top it with anything you’d like – nuts, peanut butter, pumpkin seeds, cacao nibs, crushed graham crackers, or whatever else your heart desires.  With a great balance of carbohydrates and protein, this smoothie bowl is great to dig into after a tough practice or game.

Instructions

1. Combine the frozen strawberries, frozen banana slices, yogurt, and milk in a blender.  Turn on and blend until well combined, about 30 seconds.
2. Pour into a bowl and top with chia seeds, coconut, and additional sliced strawberries.  Enjoy!
