A quick, filling, and nutritious smoothie bowl featuring strawberries, protein powder, granola, and coconut flakes. Perfect for busy mornings or post-workout recovery.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (225g) strawberries, fresh or frozen, hulled and sliced if fresh
  • ½ cup (120g) Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
  • 1 scoop (about 25g) vanilla or unflavored whey or plant-based protein powder
  • ¾ cup (180ml) unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ cup (about 50g) granola, preferably crunchy with nuts and seeds
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes, toasted if desired
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep the strawberries: If using fresh berries, wash, hull, and slice them. If frozen, measure them straight from the freezer.
  2. In a high-speed blender, combine strawberries, Greek yogurt, protein powder, almond milk, and honey or maple syrup if using.
  3. Blend on high for about 45 seconds to 1 minute until smooth and creamy.
  4. Check consistency: The smoothie should be thick but scoopable. Add more almond milk if too thick or more frozen strawberries/ice if too thin.
  5. Pour the smoothie mixture evenly into two medium-sized serving bowls.
  6. Sprinkle granola evenly over the top of each bowl, then add toasted coconut flakes, chia seeds if using, and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
  7. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

Use frozen strawberries or add ice cubes to achieve a thick, scoopable texture. Toast coconut flakes gently in a dry pan for extra flavor. Add granola and coconut flakes just before serving to keep them crunchy. For dairy-free, swap Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and use plant-based protein powder. Granola can be substituted with chopped nuts or seeds for a lower-carb option.
