Equipment
- High-speed blender or food processor
- Rubber spatula
- Wide shallow bowl
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1 frozen banana (sliced into coins)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or non-dairy)
- 1/2 lemon (juice plus 1 tsp zest)
- 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 2-3 tablespoons milk, almond milk, or water
Toppings (optional)
- Granola
- Fresh strawberry slices

- Coconut flakes
- Lemon zest
Instructions
- Zest the lemon before juicing. Set aside a pinch of zest for topping.
- Add frozen strawberries, frozen banana coins, yogurt, lemon juice, remaining zest, and 2 tablespoons of liquid to the blender. Start on low and increase to high. If stuck, use tamper or add another tablespoon of liquid. Blend until thick and creamy.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness. Add honey/maple syrup if needed and pulse briefly.
- Scoop into a wide shallow bowl. Spread evenly, creating a small well in the center for toppings.
- Top with granola, fresh strawberry slices, reserved lemon zest, chia seeds, and coconut flakes. Serve immediately.
Notes
Key tips: The banana must be frozen for creaminess. Start with less liquid — you can always add more. Do not over-blend; stop as soon as it's smooth to avoid melting the fruit. Store sliced frozen banana in a bag for easy smoothie packs. This bowl is best eaten immediately; do not refrigerate or freeze leftovers.
