Spoon into a bowl. Serve immediately.
Add optional toppings like sliced banana and strawberries.

The best way to make a smoothie bowl is with a blender tamper tool. It allows you to push ingredients around without touching the blades. This is key for breaking down the frozen ingredients without adding in a lot of liquid.
Instead of unsweetened almond milk, you can also use cow's milk or other plant-based milks, like soy milk or oat milk.
Using 1 ½ cups frozen banana and 1 cup frozen strawberries will produce the same results.
When choosing a banana, pick a ripe one. You can tell a banana is ripe if it has a yellow peel and some brown spots.
If possible, use sliced frozen strawberries. Your blender will have an easier time breaking them down.
When preparing strawberries and bananas for the freezer, always chop them first. If your blender is not very powerful, cut both fruits into smaller chunks.
You can thin a smoothie bowl if it’s too thick. Add a splash of milk and blend for 10 seconds.
Smoothie bowls taste best when eaten immediately. To store leftovers, keep them in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for no more than 2 days.
