A silky vanilla-banana smoothie bowl that eats like a tropical vacation. Blended thick so you spoon it instead of drink it, then finished with toasted coconut and crunchy granola for texture.

• Frozen banana blends into a soft-serve texture without needing ice cream or added sugar.
• Vanilla whey pushes clean protein over 30 g while keeping the flavor light and dessert-like.
• Coconut adds MCTs, fats your body burns quickly for training energy.

1. 1

   Add the frozen banana chunks, vanilla whey, Greek yogurt or oat milk and vanilla extract to a blender.

2. 2

   Blend on high for 30 to 45 seconds until the mixture is very thick, smooth and creamy; it should be stiff enough that a spoon inserted upright stays standing.

3. 3

   Heat a small dry pan over medium heat; add the coconut flakes and stir constantly for 60 seconds until they turn light golden brown, then tip immediately onto a plate to stop the cooking.

4. 4

   Pour the smoothie base into a wide, shallow bowl.

5. 5

   Fan fresh banana slices on one side of the bowl and pile the granola and toasted coconut on the other side for contrast.

6. 6

   Eat immediately before the smoothie base melts.

• Freeze bananas peeled and chopped, they blend smoother and save the blades.
• Add 1 tsp peanut butter under the toppings for a hidden salty layer.
