Who needs to watch Barbie when you've got this much pink in your morning bowl? This thick, spoonable smoothie bowl is made with frozen banana, raspberries, and Overherd oat milk powder. Blended in minutes, topped with whatever you fancy.
Ingredients
For the smoothie bowl 150g frozen banana (1½ medium bananas) 100g frozen raspberries 30g plant-based protein powder 10g Overherd oat milk powder 100ml water Toppings 1 tsp cocoa nibs 1 tsp popped rice 1 tsp shredded coconut 1 tsp chopped pistachios Fresh raspberriesMethod
1 Add the frozen banana, raspberries, protein powder, Overherd powder, and water to a high-speed blender.
2 Blend until smooth and thick, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed.
3 Pour into a bowl, arrange your toppings, and enjoy immediately.
Tips
Freeze your bananas in advance Peel and freeze ripe bananas in a zip-lock bag so they're ready to blend. The riper the banana, the sweeter the bowl. No extra sweetener needed.
Use a high-speed blender Frozen fruit needs real power to break down into a thick, smooth consistency. A standard blender may need longer blending time to get there.
Add toppings just before eating Cocoa nibs, popped rice, and coconut lose their crunch fast once they hit a cold, wet smoothie. Add them right before serving, not while the bowl is in the freezer waiting.
FAQ
Can you make a smoothie bowl with oat milk powder? Yes, and it gives a thicker result than carton oat milk. Adding Overherd powder directly to the blender means you get creaminess without watering down the blend, which matters when the whole point is a thick, spoonable bowl.
Do I need protein powder for this recipe? No, the recipe works without it, though the bowl will be slightly less thick and won't have the added protein. If you leave it out, you may want to reduce the water slightly to keep the consistency thick.
Why is my smoothie bowl too runny? Usually too much liquid or not enough frozen fruit. Use fully frozen banana and raspberries rather than fresh, start with less water than you think you need, and add more gradually only if your blender is struggling.
Serving suggestions
01 The full topping set Cocoa nibs, popped rice, shredded coconut, pistachios, and fresh raspberries arranged in neat little piles. As pretty as breakfast gets.
02 Post-workout Protein, fruit, and oat milk make this a solid post-workout option. Eat straight after training while your blender is still out.
03 Weekend breakfast Takes slightly more effort than cereal, looks significantly better in a photo. A good Saturday morning treat.
04 With granola Swap the popped rice for a handful of granola for extra crunch and staying power through the morning.
Variations
Strawberry swap Replace the raspberries with frozen strawberries for a slightly sweeter version. Equally pink, slightly different flavour.
Chocolate pink Add 1 tsp cocoa powder to the blend for a chocolate-raspberry combination. Works surprisingly well.
No added protein Leave out the protein powder and reduce water to 80ml to compensate for the lost thickness. A simpler fruit version.
