Chef's Note
For an even creamier texture, freeze your bananas overnight and use them straight from the freezer. The homemade granola can be made up to a week in advance and stored in an airtight container, making this a quick assembly breakfast on busy mornings. If the smoothie is too thick to blend, add almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time until it reaches the perfect scoopable consistency.

Ingredients
2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup sliced almonds
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 medium frozen bananas
1/2 cup almond butter
1 cup almond milk
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 cup fresh strawberries
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups rolled oats and 1/2 cup sliced almonds.
- 3
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 2 tablespoons coconut oil with 3 tablespoons honey and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, stirring until well combined, about 2 minutes.
- 4
Pour the honey mixture over the oats and almonds, stirring thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly.
- 5
Spread the granola mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- 6
Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even browning, until golden and fragrant. Remove and let cool completely on the baking sheet.
- 7
While granola cools, prepare the smoothie bowls: Add 4 frozen bananas (broken into chunks), 1/2 cup almond butter, 1 cup almond milk, and 1/2 cup Greek yogurt to a high-speed blender.
- 8
Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until thick and creamy, stopping to scrape down sides as needed. The consistency should be thicker than a regular smoothie, similar to soft-serve ice cream.
- 9
Slice 1 cup fresh strawberries into quarters.
- 10
Divide the smoothie mixture evenly among 4 serving bowls.
- 11
Top each bowl with approximately 1/3 cup of the cooled homemade granola.
- 12
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut over each bowl.
- 13
Arrange sliced strawberries and fresh blueberries on top of each bowl, dividing evenly.
- 14
Serve immediately while the smoothie base is still cold and the granola is crunchy.
