Smoothie Bowl

September 30th, 2018

Creamy, Fruity, Naturally sweet, Nutrient- rich, Healthy, Satisfying & Quick to Make!  Words that describe this delicious smoothie bowl.  

This bowl makes the perfect  breakfast or snack – when you’re in a rush but need something substantial.  Simply add a frozen banana and frozen mixed berries to a blender and blend on low. Blending on low is very important! This keeps the smoothie from liquifying too much – keeping a thicker texture.  If you love ice cream, you’ll  love the soft serve texture of the smoothie bowl! 

Adding toppings  like coconut flakes, chia seeds, flax seeds, or hemp seeds –  for added nutrients, fiber, & protein is another delicious part of the smoothie bowl recipe. Though  fruit toppings are a pretty addition to the bowl,  it’s completely optional since the entire bowl is made of fruit. 

Ingredients: Note: Feel free to add more or less per serving if needed. What I used was enough for 2 full servings for Kariim & I  and a small serving for Elle.

• 2 cups of organic frozen mixed berries
• 1 small ripe banana 
• 6 dates (pitted)
• 1/3 cup of hemp milk (or coconut milk, almond)
• 1 scoop of protein powder of your choice (optional) 

Toppings: per bowl

• 1 Tbsp of organic shredded unsweetened coconut
• 1 Tbsp chia seeds
• 1 Tbsp hemp seeds
• handful of walnuts 
• fruit of your choice

Instructions:

1. Add frozen berries, banana, and milk- to high speed blender and blend on low until small bits remain.
2. Add protein powder (optional) and blend again on low until a little smoother.
3. Scoop into 1-2 serving bowls and top with your choice of toppings. 
4. Best served fresh. Though leftovers can be kept in freezer for 1-2 weeks. Let thaw before enjoying.
5. Yum!!!
