Instructions

Peel and chop bananas, then add to a blender with milk and optional yogurt.
Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping sides as needed.
Pour the mixture into bowls, aiming for a thick, spoonable consistency.
Top with granola, berries, seeds, and a drizzle of nut butter.
Add optional garnishes like cinnamon or cacao nibs.
Serve immediately for the best texture and taste.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and creaminess.
Frozen bananas create a thicker, ice-cream-like texture.
Keep granola and other crunchy toppings separate until serving to prevent sogginess.
