Protein Powered Smoothie Bowl Recipe

Contains Milk & Yogurt

INGREDIENTS

• 1 pc. Frozen Banana (peeled and sliced)
• 1/2 cup Mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)
• 1/2 cup frozen mango chunks (optional for a tropical twist)
• 1 scoop Protein powder (your choice of vanilla, chocolate, or plant-based)
• 1/4 cup unsweetened Almond milk (or milk of choice)
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
• 1-2 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, depending on desired sweetness)

TOPPINGS (Optional but Delicious!)

• Fresh fruit (banana slices, berries, kiwi)
• Granola (for crunch)
• Chia seeds or flax seeds
• Nut butter (peanut butter, almond butter, or cashew butter)
• Shredded coconut
• Cacao nibs or chocolate chips
• Sliced almonds or other nuts
• A drizzle of honey or maple syrup

INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare Your Ingredients:
Ensure that the banana and any other fruits (berries, mango) are frozen. This is crucial for getting the right creamy texture in your smoothie bowl.
If you’re using a protein powder with large clumps, sift it to ensure it’s smooth when blended.

Blend the Smoothie Base:
Add the frozen banana, mixed berries, mango, protein powder, almond milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract (optional), and sweetener (optional) into a high-speed blender or food processor.
Blend until smooth. You may need to scrape down the sides or pulse the blender to ensure everything is incorporated.
The consistency should be thick and creamy, almost like soft-serve ice cream. If it’s too thick, add a splash more almond milk. If it’s too runny, add more frozen fruit.

Churn the Mixture in your Whynter Ice Cream Maker:
Set up your Whynter Ice Cream Maker and pour the chilled smoothie mixture into the ice cream maker bowl.
Let it churn for about 20-25 minutes, or until it reaches a creamy, thick texture. The mixture should resemble soft-serve ice cream.

Serve the Smoothie Bowl:
Once the smoothie is churned to the right consistency, scoop it into bowls. You can shape it like soft-serve or keep it slightly chunky for a more rustic feel.

Add Your Toppings:
Top your smoothie bowl with an assortment of your favorite toppings. Fresh fruit, granola, chia seeds, nuts, and nut butter are all great options to add flavor, crunch, and extra nutrition. Enjoy!
Dive in and enjoy your protein-packed smoothie bowl! It’s a perfect post-workout treat or a nutritious breakfast, or a snack.
