☀️ Banana Granola Smoothie Bowl

Want to give your smoothie bowl a rich, thick, milkshake-like texture? The secret is in the details! Today, we're upgrading our recipe based on some pro advice to create an "exponentially better" breakfast bowl with the Fresko Hand Blender!

💡 Pro-Tips for Success

1. Frozen Bananas are a MUST! Peel, slice, and freeze your bananas first. This is the key to making the smoothie incredibly thick and cold, taking the texture to the next level. To make blending easier, slice them before you freeze them.

2. Use Whole Milk, Not Yogurt. Whole milk provides a rich, milkshake-like creaminess that allows the banana and nut butter flavors to shine. Dairy-free options like oat milk work great too. We're skipping yogurt this time, as its natural tartness can clash with the sweet banana flavor.

🍽️ Ingredients List

• Frozen Banana 🍌 (1, peeled and sliced beforehand)

• Whole Milk 🥛 (1/2 cup, or substitute with oat milk)

• Nut Butter 🥜 (1 tbsp, like peanut or almond butter)

• Toppings:

  • Granola (as desired)

  • A few fresh banana slices

  • Mint leaf 🌿 (optional)

🍳 Steps

1. Prep: In a tall cup, combine your pre-sliced frozen banana, a tablespoon of your favorite nut butter, and the milk. 

2. Blend: Immerse the Fresko Hand Blender into the cup. Blend for 1-2 minutes. Its powerful motor can easily handle the hard, frozen banana, breaking it down into a perfectly thick, creamy, and smooth milkshake consistency with no icy chunks. 

3. Assemble: Pour the thick smoothie, which will have a texture similar to soft-serve ice cream, into a bowl. Top with crunchy granola, fresh banana slices, and a mint leaf for garnish.

Even with tough, frozen ingredients, the Fresko Hand Blender powers through to create this perfectly creamy, milkshake-like smoothie. You have to try this upgraded recipe!
