    Why you'll love this chocolate smoothie bowl recipe

    If you’ve been craving a chocolatey breakfast that feels indulgent and energizing, this smoothie bowl delivers in every way.

    It’s like a mocha milkshake you can eat with a spoon. Thanks to coffee, every spoonful is packed with bold flavor.

    Super thick and scoopable. Frozen banana is the secret to that dreamy, spoonable consistency, totally better than sipping through a straw.

    Easy & nutritious. A quick, delicious and healthy way to enjoy a nutrient-packed breakfast, after-workout pick-me-up, or filling snack.

    It’s packed with protein. With Greek yogurt and almond butter blended in, this smoothie bowl will satisfy you until lunch.

    It’s totally customizable. You can go nuts (literally), make it vegan, swap the banana, or switch up your toppings - whatever you want.

    It makes breakfast feel like dessert. Between the caramel drizzle and chocolate chips on top, it’s basically a sundae in smoothie form.

    Ingredients

    Here’s what you’ll need to whip up your own caramel chocolate smoothie bowl.

    Ingredients for chocolate banana smoothie bowl.

    Vanilla Greek yogurt – Adds creaminess, tang, and a nice boost of protein.

    Brewed coffee – Gives it a bold, mocha vibe. Freeze it in cubes for an extra frosty smoothie.

    Caramel syrup – Adds a sweet, buttery, rich flavor accent. Caramel sauce can also be used.

    Natural almond butter – Brings a rich, nutty flavor and smooth texture.

    Frozen banana – Key for thickness and natural sweetness.

    Cocoa Powder – Adds all the chocolate flavor you could want.

    Greens powder – Adds extra nutrients and antioxidants.

    Toppings – Go wild with slivered almonds, banana slices, chocolate chips, granola, coconut flakes, caramel sauce drizzle, or whatever your heart desires.

    Recipe tips for success

    Want the perfect smoothie bowl texture and flavor every time? These tips will help you out.

    Freeze the banana in advance. Slice your banana and freeze it overnight (or longer). This gives your smoothie bowl that thick, ice-cream-like consistency.

    Freeze your coffee, too! Pour brewed coffee into an ice cube tray and freeze it ahead of time. It adds chill and a rich mocha flavor without watering down the smoothie.

    Use a powerful blender. A high-speed blender makes it easy to blend frozen ingredients into a silky smooth bowl without adding too much liquid.

    Blend slowly, then speed up. Start blending on a low speed to break up the frozen chunks, then crank it up to get it smooth and creamy.

    Chill your bowl for an extra frosty experience. Pop your serving bowl in the freezer for 10–15 minutes while you blend. It helps keep everything cold longer.

    Recipe variations to make it your own

    This smoothie bowl is super flexible, so feel free to change it up based on your cravings or what you have in the kitchen!

    Caramel Sauce – Swap with sugar-free caramel for fewer calories, or use date syrup or maple syrup if you want a natural sweetener.

    Peanut Butter – Prefer peanut butter? Go for it! It adds a classic flavor combo and pairs perfectly with chocolate. Top with chopped peanuts instead of almonds for crunch.

    Hazelnut – Mix it up with chocolate hazelnut spread like Nutella for an extra indulgent twist. Garnish with hazelnuts instead of almonds.

    Without Banana – Use 1 cup of chopped avocado instead of banana for a creamy texture without the banana flavor. Freeze your yogurt beforehand for that thick, frosty consistency. Then top with a different fresh fruit, like berries or mango.

    Extra Protein – Boost your bowl with a scoop of chocolate greens protein powder instead of just the regular greens blend.

    Smoothie Version – Skip freezing the coffee and blend everything for a drinkable smoothie you can sip on the go.

    Vegan – Use a plant-based yogurt like almond milk or coconut yogurt, and make sure your chocolate greens powder is vegan-friendly. Done and done!

    • Place all ingredients in a powerful blender and blend until smooth. See note below for preparing banana and coffee.
