No cooking experience needed. Blend until smooth, pour into a bowl, and finish with your favorite toppings.
Why a Coconut Bowl
- Plant-based: Plant-forward meals support satiety and mood stability.
- Simple: Minimal prep. Add ingredients to a blender and go.
- Flexible: Swap banana for mango, or coconut milk for almond milk to suit your taste.
- Visually satisfying: Fruits and nuts add color, texture, and appetite appeal.
| Ingredient | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Banana | Tryptophan and vitamin B6 support a steadier mood |
| Oats | Fiber helps satiety and moderates blood sugar |
| Coconut milk | Electrolytes and fats aid energy recovery |
Ingredients (Serves 1)
- 1 ripe banana
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1 tbsp honey or agave (optional)
- A handful of coconut chips for topping
- Optional toppings: seasonal fruit, nuts, cacao nibs
If you prefer less sweetness, skip the syrup; ripe fruit alone is enough.
How to Make It
- Blend banana, oats, coconut milk, and honey (optional) until smooth.
- Aim for a texture slightly thicker than a smoothie. If too thin, add a little more oats.
- Pour into a bowl and add coconut chips, fruit, and nuts to taste.
- For a cooler, firmer texture, refrigerate for 10 minutes before serving.
For aroma, add two to three drops of vanilla extract.

Chef’s Note
Freshness and balance matter more than technique here. Adjust sweetness and thickness to your mood, and mix two or three fruits of contrasting colors. Preparing this single bowl can become a brief, calming routine.
