Equipment

  • 1 blender1 tablespoon (for nut butter)
  • 1 small bowl (for soaking oats, optional)
  • 1 tablespoon (for nut butter)

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 cup frozen peach slices
  • 1 medium frozen banana
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter or pumpkin seed butter for nut-free
  • ½ cup oat milk or other plant-based milk of choice

Instructions
 

  • Soak the Oats for Extra Creaminess: Place the rolled oats in a small bowl and pour in the water. Let the oats soak for about 15–30 minutes to soften.
    This step is optional, but highly recommended if you want the oats to blend into a velvety-smooth texture without any graininess.
    If you’re in a rush, you can skip soaking and add them dry, but soaking helps create a more indulgent, ice-cream-like consistency.
  • Prepare Your Blender Setup: While the oats are soaking, set up your blender on the counter.
    Make sure it’s clean and ready for use. If you have a high-powered blender such as a Vitamix or Blendtec, you’ll get the smoothest result.
    For standard blenders, you may need to stop occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure all ingredients blend evenly. Keep a spatula nearby for convenience.
  • Add Frozen Fruits to the Blender: Measure 1 cup of frozen peach slices and 1 medium frozen banana, then add them to the blender.
    Frozen fruits are the key to achieving a thick and creamy smoothie bowl base that holds up well to toppings.
    If your fruit is fresh, chop it, place it in a freezer bag, and freeze for at least 2–3 hours before blending.
  • Add Nut Butter and Plant Milk: Spoon 1 tablespoon of almond butter into the blender.
    This adds richness, healthy fats, and a boost of plant-based protein, making the bowl more satisfying.
    If you’re nut-free, swap with pumpkin seed butter or sunflower seed butter for a similar creaminess.
    Next, pour in ½ cup of oat milk (or your favorite non-dairy milk such as almond, soy, or coconut).
    The milk provides just enough liquid to blend everything smoothly while keeping the base thick.
  • Blend Until Perfectly Smooth: Once the oats have softened, drain any excess water if necessary, and add them to the blender with the rest of the ingredients.
    Secure the blender lid and begin blending on low speed, gradually increasing to high.
    Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, with no visible chunks of fruit or oats.
    Depending on your blender, this may take 1–2 minutes. If the mixture is too thick to blend, pause, scrape down the sides, and use a tamper or add a splash more milk to loosen it.
  • Adjust the Texture (Optional): Check the consistency of your smoothie. For a spoonable smoothie bowl, the texture should be thick, almost like soft-serve ice cream, so it can hold toppings without sinking.
    If it feels too thin, add a few more frozen peach slices or banana chunks and blend again.
    If it’s too thick, simply add a small splash of plant milk and re-blend until smooth.
  • Transfer to a Serving Bowl: Once you’re satisfied with the texture, pour or scoop the smoothie into a wide bowl.
    Using a spatula ensures you don’t leave any of the creamy goodness behind in the blender.
    Smooth out the surface with the back of a spoon to create an even base for your toppings.
  • Add Your Favorite Toppings: This is the fun part! Garnish your smoothie bowl with any toppings you love.
    Fresh peach slices, banana rounds, or berries add natural sweetness. Sprinkle on chia seeds, hemp hearts, or shredded coconut for extra crunch and nutrition.
    For creaminess, add a dollop of vegan yogurt. A drizzle of nut butter or a small handful of nuts and granola also make excellent choices.
    Get creative and build your own perfect bowl.
  • Serve Immediately and Enjoy: Smoothie bowls are best enjoyed fresh, as the texture will soften if left sitting too long.
    Grab a spoon, dig in, and enjoy a refreshing breakfast that feels like a treat but is packed with nutrients.
    If you’d like to meal-prep, you can freeze the smoothie base in an airtight container and thaw it in the fridge for 15–20 minutes before serving with toppings.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, use certified gluten-free oats.
  • To make it nut-free, swap almond butter for pumpkin seed or sunflower seed butter and use oat milk.
  • If you want an extra-thick smoothie bowl, reduce the plant milk slightly or add more frozen fruit.
  • For a smoother texture, soak the oats before blending.
  • The smoothie base is naturally sweet from fruits, so there’s no need to add sugar.
