- Sprinkle the chia seeds evenly over the fruit.
- Serve immediately and enjoy.
What to keep in mind.
4 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1For an extra thick bowl, use only frozen fruit and ensure your banana is frozen solid.
- 2Avoid adding any liquid (milk or water) as it will make the smoothie too thin for a bowl.
- 3If your blender is struggling, stop and scrape down the sides, or add yogurt a little at a time.
- 4Peel and slice bananas before freezing them on a tray so they don't stick together.
Adapt it for your goals.
