How to make 4-Ingredient Healthy Smoothie Bowl
- Step 1
Ensure your banana and dragon fruit are frozen solid. Pit your dates if they aren't already.
- Step 2
Place the frozen banana, frozen dragon fruit chunks, pitted dates, and 1/2 cup of your chosen plant milk into your high-speed blender.
- Step 3
Start blending on low, then gradually increase to high speed. Use the tamper if your blender has one to push the ingredients down towards the blades. Scrape down the sides with a spatula as needed.
- Step 4
If the mixture is too thick to blend, add the remaining plant milk (1 tablespoon at a time) until you reach a thick, soft-serve ice cream-like consistency.
- Step 5
Once perfectly smooth and creamy, spoon the smoothie mixture into a bowl.
- Step 6
Add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, granola, or nut butter, and serve immediately.

Tips & Tricks
Always use frozen fruit to achieve a thick smoothie bowl consistency.
Start with less liquid and add sparingly to avoid a runny texture.
Use a high-powered blender for the smoothest and creamiest result.
Adjust the number of dates based on the ripeness of your banana and your sweetness preference.
Prepare pre-portioned smoothie packs by freezing banana, dragon fruit, and dates together for quick blending later.
FAQS
Can I use fresh fruit instead of frozen?
Frozen fruit is essential for achieving the thick, scoopable consistency of a smoothie bowl. Fresh fruit will result in a runnier texture.
What type of plant milk works best?
Any unsweetened plant milk, such as almond, soy, oat, or coconut milk, works well. Choose one based on your flavor preference.
Can I make this smoothie bowl ahead of time?
It's best to enjoy the smoothie bowl immediately after blending, as it may lose its thick texture if stored. However, you can freeze pre-portioned ingredients for quick preparation.
How can I make the smoothie bowl sweeter?
Add an extra date or use a very ripe banana for more natural sweetness.
What toppings pair well with this smoothie bowl?
Fresh fruit, granola, shredded coconut, chia seeds, nut butter, or cacao nibs are great options for added flavor and texture.
