Instructions

  1. Prep banana and toppings

    1. *Peel the banana* and break it into chunks; *measure the toppings* so the bowl can be assembled right after blending.

  2. Load the blender

    2. Add *Greek yogurt, whole milk, honey, and vanilla* to the blender, then add *frozen strawberries, frozen blueberries, and banana*.

  3. Blend until spoonable

    3. Blend on low, then high, *stopping to scrape down the sides* as needed, until the mixture is *thick, smooth, and spoonable*, 45–75 seconds.

  4. Scrape and pulse if needed

    4. If the blender stalls, *turn it off and scrape carefully*, then pulse again until the base looks *as thick as soft-serve*.

  5. Assemble the bowls

    5. Divide the smoothie base between bowls, *smooth the tops*, and finish with *granola, chia seeds, and fresh blueberries*.

  6. Serve immediately

    6. Serve immediately while *frozen and thick* and eat with a spoon before the *granola softens*.
