Ingredients You’ll Need

One of the best things about this strawberry smoothie bowl is that you don’t need too many ingredients! And though most smoothie bowls will use frozen banana, this one switches that up.

Frozen strawberries: I find that the smoothie bowl comes out thicker when you use frozen fruit. You can use fresh strawberris if you like but know it will affect the texture.

Frozen mango: this is the “secret sauce” right here. Frozen mango blends into a super creamy mix (like this 2 ingredient mango ice cream) and makes it so you don’t need bananas.

Coconut milk: make sure to use the coconut cream part from the can. That’s what will make this strawberry smoothie rich.

Vegan protein powder: you always want to kick off your morning with protein! Learn more about how to increase your daily protein. Also, know that the protein powder you choose will affect the taste and texture.

Almond milk: any non-dairy milk will work here. We use homemade hemp milk the most though as it’s what we have on hand.

How To Make It

1. Combine all the ingredients in a high-powered blender.
2. Blend for 1-2 minutes. You may need to use a tamper to press everything down.
3. Make sure it is fully smooth.
4. Pour it into a bowl, top it with your favorites, and enjoy!

Important Teaching Tips

You should be able to use whey protein powder in this strawberry smoothie bowl recipe if you need to.

However, whey protein doesn’t absorb like vegan protein powder and so it may alter the texture a bit (same goes for this dragon fruit smoothie bowl)

Add your almond milk and coconut milk to the blender first to make it easier for the blender to process.

The key to a smoothie bowl is using frozen fruits. That’s what makes them thick. Because there is frozen mangos though, you may be able to get away with fresh strawberries.

Use a combination of any of 5 of these smoothie bowl toppings and change your bowl up daily as per your mood!

Add Ins

If you want to amp up the nutritional base of the strawberry smoothie bowl, you can add in any of the following:

• Hemp seeds
• Chia seeds
• Yogurt
• Almond butter

Personally, I would rather use these on top of the bowl for texture though.

Which Protein Powder To Choose

The protein powder you choose makes a difference to the smoothie bowl in both texture and taste.

This strawberry smoothie bowl has been made with Genuine Health’s Fermented Vegan Chocolate Protein Powder. as well as Botanica Protein Powder.

The Genuine Health powder will make the smoothie thicker where as the Botanica protein powder will give it a sweeter profile.

These are two of my favorite proteins because they actually taste good. The Genuine Health one is also fermented which means it’s easier on your tummy too (no bloat!).
