Ingredients
Scale
1 large frozen banana, broken into chunks
1/2 cup frozen cauliflower florets (for thickness)
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (use less for thicker results)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon chia seeds
Toppings: granola, fresh berries, sliced almonds
Instructions
Place the frozen banana, frozen cauliflower, vanilla protein powder, Greek yogurt, almond milk, vanilla extract, and chia seeds into a high-speed blender.
Start blending on low speed, using the tamper tool constantly to push the ingredients down toward the blades.
Add only small amounts of extra liquid (1 teaspoon at a time) if the blender stalls completely. The goal is to keep the mixture as thick as possible.
Blend until completely smooth and the consistency resembles soft-serve ice cream.
Spoon the thick mixture into a bowl.
Arrange your desired toppings, such as granola, berries, and sliced almonds, on top.
Serve immediately with a spoon.
Notes
For an ultra-thick bowl, freeze your Greek yogurt in ice cube trays beforehand.
Use only just enough liquid to allow the blades to move; less liquid equals a thicker bowl.
If you prefer a low-sugar option, use unsweetened protein powder and skip any added sweeteners.
