Description

Enjoy a creamy Chocolate Coconut Smoothie Bowl made with frozen banana, almond milk, and cocoa powder, topped with crunchy granola and fresh fruits. It’s a delicious and refreshing option for breakfast or a snack!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ripe banana, frozen
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup granola (for topping)
  • Fresh fruits for topping (e.g., sliced bananas, berries, or kiwi)
  • Extra shredded coconut for garnish
  • Dark chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients. It’s always easier to have everything ready before you begin blending.
  2. Take the frozen banana out of the freezer. If you haven’t frozen it yet, peel and slice a ripe banana, then place it in a zip-lock bag and freeze for at least 2 hours.
  3. In a blender, add the frozen banana, almond milk, cocoa powder, shredded coconut, honey (or maple syrup), chia seeds, and vanilla extract.
  4. Blend on high speed until all the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more almond milk until you reach your desired consistency.
  5. Taste the smoothie base and adjust the sweetness if necessary. If you prefer it sweeter, add a bit more honey or maple syrup and blend again.
  6. Once your smoothie base is ready, pour it into a bowl.
  7. Sprinkle a generous amount of granola over the top.
  8. Arrange your fresh fruits on top, such as sliced bananas, berries, and kiwi.
  9. Sprinkle some extra shredded coconut over the fruits for added flavor.
  10. Add some dark chocolate shavings on top if desired.
  11. Finish it off with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for an extra touch of sweetness.

Notes

  • Serve your chocolate coconut smoothie bowl immediately for the best flavor and texture.
  • Pair it with a cup of herbal tea or a refreshing glass of water infused with lemon for a complete breakfast or snack.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours; stir before serving.
