Might I also mention that it takes less than 10 minutes to prep? Oh, you will want this every morning.
That said, here is how you make this good avocado smoothie bowl.
Ingredients for Banana Avocado Smoothie Bowl
Avocado: You will need ripe avocados for this bowl. I like to leave my avocado in the fridge so that it is cold before blending.
Bananas: I suggest freezing your bananas overnight before making this smoothie bowl. I recommend frozen over unfrozen for a creamier texture and a colder, refreshing bowl.
Milk: I use unsweetened almond or cashew milk since I’m plant-based. However, you can substitute it with whole or 2% milk.
Sweetener: Feel free to use any sweetener of your choice. Maple syrup, honey, or organic monk fruit (which I love and use often) work great. However, this is optional, and you don’t need to sweeten your smoothie bowl if you don’t want to.
Vanilla extract: This adds an additional layer of flavor to this dish that pairs well with the bananas and avocados.
Toppings: This is optional, but I recommend topping your bowl with some fruits like strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries that enhance the flavor. You can also add additional toppings like granola, chia seeds, coconut flakes, or your favorite nuts.

Expert Tips for the Perfect Banana Avocado Smoothie Bowl
Creating the perfect smoothie bowl is an art in itself. However, there are a few tips and tricks that can help you achieve a perfect banana avocado smoothie bowl.
Freeze Your Bananas: For a thick and creamy consistency, use frozen bananas! Simply peel and slice ripe bananas, then freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring them to a freezer bag.
Use Ripe Avocados: For the best flavor and texture, ensure your avocados are ripe and not mushy. A ripe avocado should yield slightly to gentle pressure and have a darker skin.
Chill Your Bowl: For that extra cold and refreshing experience we all love in a smoothie bowl, I recommend chilling your bowl in the freezer for a few minutes before adding the smoothie.
