A recipe for a very thick, high-protein smoothie bowl featuring a strong vanilla flavor, perfect for a quick breakfast or post-workout meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large frozen banana, sliced
  • 1/2 cup frozen cauliflower florets (for thickness, no flavor change)
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (start with less)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds
  • Optional toppings: granola, fresh berries, sliced almonds, shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Place the frozen banana, frozen cauliflower, vanilla protein powder, Greek yogurt, almond milk, vanilla extract, and chia seeds into a high-powered blender.
  2. Start blending on low speed, using the tamper tool constantly to push the ingredients down toward the blades.
  3. Add only small amounts of extra liquid (1 tablespoon at a time) if the mixture refuses to blend. The goal is minimal liquid for maximum thickness.
  4. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and has the consistency of soft-serve ice cream.
  5. Spoon the thick mixture into a bowl immediately.
  6. Arrange your desired toppings over the surface of the bowl.
  7. Serve immediately with a spoon.

Notes

  • For the thickest result, ensure your banana is fully frozen and use the least amount of liquid possible.
  • If you do not have cauliflower, substitute with 1/4 cup of frozen zucchini or 1/4 of a small avocado for creaminess.
  • Use cold or frozen Greek yogurt cubes instead of liquid yogurt for an even thicker base.
