1 photo Some mornings feel rushed, messy, and loud. Other mornings feel slow and intentional. This Chocolate Banana Breakfast Bowl was born somewhere in between. It is the kind of breakfast that feels indulgent like dessert but secretly fuels you like a powerhouse meal.
The first time I blended chocolate and banana together for breakfast, it felt almost rebellious. Chocolate in the morning? Yes, absolutely. But this version is different. It is nourishing. It is balanced. It is the kind of bowl you make when you want something sweet but still want to take care of yourself.
Frozen bananas create that thick, ice-cream-like texture we all crave. Spinach blends in quietly, adding nutrients without changing the flavor. The chocolate protein and collagen make it satisfying enough to carry you through busy workdays, school runs, or workouts. And those toppings? That is where personality shines. Crunchy granola. Bright strawberries. Maybe a drizzle of nut butter if you are feeling extra.
What I love most is how adaptable it is. Some days it is simple. Some days it is loaded with toppings. But every time, it feels like a small act of self-care in a bowl. A reminder that healthy food does not have to be boring. It can be creamy, chocolatey, beautiful, and energizing all at once.
Now let’s make it.
Step-by-Step Instructions to Chocolate Banana Breakfast Bowl :
Step 1 :
Add the frozen bananas, spinach, chocolate protein powder, collagen powder, almond milk, and cinnamon into a blender. I used the Ninja Professional Countertop Blender, but honestly any strong home blender will work just fine.
Step 2 :
Blend until completely smooth and thick. You may need to stop and scrape the sides using a Cuisinart Silicone Spatula, but use whatever spatula you already have at home.
Step 3 :
Check the consistency. It should be thick like soft-serve ice cream, not runny. If needed, add a splash of almond milk and blend again.
Step 4 :
Pour the mixture into a bowl. I like using the Sweese Porcelain Dessert Bowls, but any bowl in your kitchen works perfectly.
Step 5 :
Top with granola and fresh strawberries. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Note
Storage
Best enjoyed immediately. If needed, store the smoothie base in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir before serving.
Substitutions
Swap almond milk with oat milk or dairy milk. Replace spinach with kale. Skip collagen if unavailable. Use vanilla protein powder for a milder flavor.
Serving ideas
Top with chia seeds, peanut butter drizzle, cacao nibs, coconut flakes, or sliced almonds for extra texture.
Mistakes to avoid
Adding too much liquid will make it runny. Always use frozen bananas for thickness. Blend gradually to avoid overheating the mixture.
Chef tips
If the blender struggles, add almond milk one tablespoon at a time. Freeze banana slices flat for easier blending.
