Prepare the fruit
Peel one of the Banana and break it into four or five chunks, then place them in a freezer bag and freeze until solid, at least 4 hours. When you are ready to eat, peel the second fresh Banana and slice it into thin, uniform coins for the topping.

Combine base ingredients
Place the frozen chunks of Banana into the blender jar along with the Peanut Butter (creamy), the Plain Greek Yogurt, and the Almond Milk. It is important to add the liquid last so you can control the final thickness of the bowl.
1 min -
Blend until thick and smooth
Pulse the blender a few times to break up the large frozen chunks, then blend on high speed for about 45–60 seconds. You are looking for a completely uniform, pale tan mixture that has the consistency of soft-serve ice cream.

Transfer to the bowl
Use a spatula to scrape the thick mixture into a serving bowl, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon. Work quickly so the base stays as cold and firm as possible while you prepare to add the garnishes.

Add toppings and serve
Arrange the fresh slices of Banana in a neat row across one side. Sprinkle the Chia Seeds and Hemp Seeds over the center, then finish by drizzling the Honey in a decorative pattern over everything.
