Prepare a very thick, high-protein smoothie bowl with a strong vanilla flavor, perfect for a satisfying breakfast or post-workout meal.

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

  1. Place the frozen banana, frozen cauliflower, vanilla protein powder, Greek yogurt, almond milk, vanilla extract, and chia seeds into a high-speed 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 teaspoon at a time) if the blender stalls completely. The goal is to keep the mixture as thick as possible.
  4. Blend until completely smooth and the consistency resembles soft-serve ice cream.
  5. Spoon the thick mixture into a bowl.
  6. Arrange your desired toppings, such as granola, berries, and sliced almonds, on top.
  7. 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.
