This Creamy Fruit Blender Bowl is a refreshing and healthy dessert, perfect for any occasion. With just a few ingredients and a blender, you can create a delicious treat that’s smooth, creamy, and packed with fruit flavors.
Ingredients:
- For the base:
- 2 ripe bananas (frozen for a thicker texture)
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or your favorite)
- 1 cup plain or vanilla yogurt (Greek yogurt for extra creaminess)
- ½ cup milk (dairy or plant-based, such as almond or oat milk)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Toppings (optional):
- Fresh fruits (sliced bananas, berries, or kiwi)
- Granola or crushed nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
- Coconut flakes
- Chia seeds or flaxseeds
- Dark chocolate shavings
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
- Peel and slice the bananas and freeze them for at least 2 hours.
- Wash the berries and pat them dry.
Step 2: Blend the Base
- In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen bananas, mixed berries, yogurt, milk, honey (if using), and vanilla extract.
- Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
Step 3: Assemble the Bowl
- Pour the creamy fruit mixture into a bowl.
- Add your favorite toppings. Arrange fresh fruit slices, sprinkle granola, nuts, or seeds, and finish with a drizzle of honey or chocolate shavings.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
- Serve immediately for a refreshing, creamy dessert. You can also chill it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes for a firmer texture.
Tips for Customization:
- Fruit Variations: Swap berries with mango, pineapple, or peaches for a tropical twist.
- Dairy-Free Option: Use coconut yogurt and almond or coconut milk for a vegan version.
- Protein Boost: Add a scoop of protein powder or a tablespoon of nut butter for an extra energy boost.
