High Fiber Smoothie Bowl (Printable Version)

Creamy banana and psyllium smoothie bowl with chia, flax, granola and blueberries for a filling, fiber-rich breakfast.

# What You'll Need:

→ Base

01 - 2 medium ripe bananas
02 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
03 - 1 tablespoon psyllium husk
04 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
05 - 1/2 tablespoon chia seeds
06 - 1/2 tablespoon flaxseed meal
07 - 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

→ Toppings

08 - 1/2 medium banana, sliced
09 - 2 tablespoons granola (use gluten-free if required)
10 - 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
11 - 1 tablespoon blueberries (fresh or frozen)
12 - 1 teaspoon shredded coconut

# Directions:

01 - Combine the ripe bananas, unsweetened almond milk, psyllium husk, plain Greek yogurt, chia seeds, flaxseed meal and honey or maple syrup (if using) in a blender; process until the mixture is homogenous and creamy.
02 - Assess texture and, if necessary, add additional almond milk in 1 tablespoon increments until the desired consistency is reached; note that the psyllium will thicken the mixture after a short rest.
03 - If a thicker, spoonable texture is preferred, let the blended base sit at room temperature for 1–2 minutes to allow the psyllium and chia to absorb liquid and firm up.
04 - Divide the smoothie base evenly between two serving bowls, using a spatula to transfer all of the mixture.
05 - Decorate each bowl with sliced banana, granola, pumpkin seeds, blueberries and shredded coconut, arranging them for an even distribution of texture and flavor.
06 - Present immediately with a spoon and consume right away to enjoy optimal texture and freshness.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • This bowl is secretly a champion for digestion, giving you a smooth start to your day.
  • It becomes your blank canvas for kitchen improvisations, thanks to endless topping options.
02 -
  • Add the psyllium last and blend quickly; wait too long and the base turns into pudding before you get it in your bowls.
  • Letting the smoothie sit for two minutes thickens it just perfectly—skip this and it’s closer to a drink than a bowl.
03 -
  • Wash your blender as soon as you use it so chia and flax don’t stick like glue — trust me, you’ll thank yourself later.
  • Blending the psyllium with everything at once is key; adding it later makes for clumpy surprise bites.
