Instructions

Place the smoothie bowl ingredients into a high powered blender or food processor in the order listed.
Blend starting on low and working up to speed 4-5 on a Vitamix, using the tamper to keep the mixture moving.
If you’re using a food processor, process until the mixture gets stuck before stopping to break it apart and scrape down the sides. Continue this process until the mixture is smooth.
Divide the smoothie base into 2 bowls, and top with your choice of toppings.
Serve immediately.

Notes

Always start on low speed to avoid overheating and to maintain a frozen texture. Use well-frozen bananas for the thickness of a homemade ice cream.
