Chef's Note

For the best texture, freeze your bananas when they're ripe with some brown spots for natural sweetness. You can prep individual freezer bags with the frozen banana, protein powder, and seeds for quick assembly on busy mornings. The smoothie base can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, though you may need to re-blend briefly before serving.

Ingredients

  • 4 medium frozen bananas

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk

  • 8 tablespoons natural almond butter

  • 8 scoops vanilla whey protein powder

  • 4 tablespoons chia seeds

  • 4 tablespoons flaxseed meal

  • 2 cups ice cubes

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced

  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds

  • 4 tablespoons hemp seeds

  • 4 tablespoons cacao nibs

  • 2 tablespoons honey

Instructions
  • 1

    Slice the bananas and freeze them for at least 2 hours or overnight (if not already frozen).

  • 2

    Toast 1/2 cup of sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until golden and fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Set aside to cool.

  • 3

    In a high-powered blender, combine 4 frozen bananas, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 8 tablespoons almond butter, 8 scoops vanilla whey protein powder, 4 tablespoons chia seeds, 4 tablespoons flaxseed meal, and 2 cups ice cubes.

  • 4

    Blend on low speed first to break down the frozen bananas, then gradually increase to high speed until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.

  • 5

    The mixture should be thicker than a regular smoothie but still pourable. If too thick, add a splash more almond milk; if too thin, add more ice.

  • 6

    Divide the smoothie mixture evenly among 4 serving bowls.

  • 7

    Arrange toppings in sections over each bowl: 1/4 cup fresh blueberries, 1/4 cup sliced strawberries, the toasted sliced almonds, 1 tablespoon hemp seeds per bowl, and 1 tablespoon cacao nibs per bowl.

  • 8

    Drizzle each bowl with 1/2 tablespoon honey.

  • 9

    Serve immediately while cold and thick.
