- Let kids design their own bowls—the pink base makes a fun canvas for creative toppings!
Tools You’ll Need
- High-speed blender
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Serving bowl
- Spoon or spatula
- Small bowls for toppings
Substitutions & Variations
Dairy-Free: Use dairy-free yogurt or skip it altogether and use a little extra banana for creaminess.
No Banana: Use frozen mango or avocado for a banana-free option with a thick texture.
Extra Protein: Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder or collagen peptides.
No Raspberries? Substitute with frozen strawberries or a mix of red berries.
Flavor Boost: Add a splash of lemon juice for extra tartness or a pinch of cinnamon for warmth.
Make-Ahead Tips
- Freeze sliced banana and berries in pre-portioned bags for a quick blend-and-go bowl.
- Pre-measure toppings into small containers or jars to simplify busy mornings.
- While smoothie bowls are best eaten fresh, you can blend and freeze the base in a bowl the night before, then let it sit out for 10–15 minutes and stir before topping and serving.
How to Make a Pink Raspberry Smoothie Bowl
Step 1: Add Frozen Ingredients to Blender
Place the frozen banana and frozen raspberries into a high-speed blender.
Step 2: Add Liquid and Optional Ingredients
Add almond milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla, and honey (if using). Start with ¼ cup of milk and only add more as needed to blend.
Step 3: Blend Until Smooth
Blend until thick, smooth, and creamy. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides as needed. If too thick, add more milk a tablespoon at a time.

Step 5: Add Toppings
Top with fresh raspberries, banana slices, granola, coconut, and a drizzle of almond butter or honey.
Step 6: Serve Immediately
Enjoy right away while the smoothie is thick and the toppings are crisp.
Leftovers & Storage
- Best enjoyed fresh, but you can freeze the base for later.
- Store the smoothie (without toppings) in a sealed container for up to 24 hours. Stir well before eating.
- For a grab-and-go option, blend and pour into popsicle molds for frozen smoothie treats!
Recipe FAQ
1. Can I make this smoothie bowl without bananas?
Yes! For a banana-free version, use frozen mango, avocado, or even cauliflower for creaminess. These swaps still give you a thick texture with a slightly different flavor.
2. What type of milk works best?
Any milk works—almond, oat, coconut, or dairy. Start with ¼ cup and add more only if needed to blend. Using less liquid helps keep the smoothie bowl thick and spoonable.
3. Can I use fresh raspberries instead of frozen?
Frozen raspberries give the bowl its thick, creamy texture. If using fresh berries, freeze them first or add extra frozen banana to balance the consistency.
4. How do I add more protein?
Blend in Greek yogurt, protein powder, collagen, or nut butter. These options boost protein and help make the smoothie bowl more filling and balanced.
5. Can I prep this in advance?
Yes! Freeze the base in a bowl and let it thaw for 10–15 minutes before serving. Add toppings fresh to keep them crisp and avoid sogginess.
