Hey there, foodies! Today I’m super excited to share one of my absolute favorite afternoon pick-me-ups that’ll make you feel like you’re treating yourself while keeping things nutritious. Trust me, this Blueberry-Banana Protein Smoothie Bowl is about to become your new obsession! 💁♀️
Let me tell you, as someone who used to reach for those sugary snacks during the afternoon slump, this recipe has been a total game-changer. It’s packed with protein, antioxidants, and enough natural sweetness to satisfy those pesky sweet cravings (we’ve all been there, right?).
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 1 frozen banana
– 1 cup frozen blueberries
– 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
– 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
– 1/4 cup almond milk
– 1 tablespoon honey
– 1 tablespoon chia seeds
For the toppings (because let’s be real, toppings are life!):
– Fresh blueberries
– Sliced almonds
– Coconut flakes
– A drizzle of almond butter
Okay ladies (and gents!), let’s get blending!
1. First, throw your frozen banana and blueberries into the blender. Pro tip: I always freeze my bananas when they’re getting too ripe – waste not, want not!
1. Add your protein powder, Greek yogurt, and almond milk. If you’re feeling fancy, add that tablespoon of honey (but honestly, taste it first – sometimes the banana makes it sweet enough!).
1. Blend until smooth, but keep it thick! You want this baby to hold up your toppings. If it’s too thick, add a splash more almond milk. Too thin? Add some ice!

The best part? This bowl is packed with protein to keep you full, antioxidants from those beautiful blueberries, and healthy fats from the nuts and chia seeds. It’s basically a spa day for your insides!
