Overview
Why it works
A silky vanilla-banana smoothie bowl that eats like a tropical vacation. Blended thick so you spoon it instead of drink it, then finished with toasted coconut and crunchy granola for texture.
- Frozen banana blends into a soft-serve texture without needing ice cream or added sugar.
- Vanilla whey pushes clean protein over 30 g while keeping the flavor light and dessert-like.
- Coconut adds MCTs — fats your body burns quickly for training energy.
Ingredients
Ingredients · 1 servings
- 1 large frozen banana
- 1 scoop vanilla whey (25 g)
- 150 g Greek yogurt or 150 ml oat milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp granola (gluten-free)
- 1 tbsp unsweetened coconut flakes, lightly toasted
- Fresh banana slices to top
Instructions
Step by step
- 1
Blend frozen banana, whey, yogurt and vanilla until thick and creamy — should be thick enough to hold a spoon upright.
- 2
Toast coconut flakes in a dry pan for 60 seconds until golden. Watch them, they burn fast.
- 3
Pour the smoothie into a wide bowl.
- 4
Fan fresh banana slices on one side, pile granola and toasted coconut on the other for contrast.
