My daughter introduced me to smoothie bowls while she was home from University during summer break. It was so delicious and filling that I have since been enjoying them on a frequent basis. Because they look so artsy they appear much more complicated to make than they actually are. They are so versatile and flexible in what ingredients you choose to include. I try to balance mine with healthy fats, proteins and fruits. I honestly found this recipe hard to write out because you can make it totally different each time. Experiment and have fun being the creator of your own recipe.
Mix all the ingredients in a blender or magic bullet type blender.
FRUITS:
1/4 Cup each of 2 choices of fruits. Fresh or Frozen is acceptable.
I have been been mixing blueberries and strawberries lately as they rate lower on the glycemic index for fruit. Any combination of 2 fruits is great. Mango and Pineapple, Peach and Blueberry. The choices and combinations are limitless.
FATS:
1/4 of an avacado
LIQUID:
I add a 1/2 Cup liquid to help it blend easier. Milk, almond milk, or coconut milk etc.
PROTEIN:
I add 1/2 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder to my smoothie bowls.
(You can also use Greek yogurt as your protein/liquid option if you like)
Blend until everything is smooth. Pour into a cereal bowl. You can top off and decorate your smoothie with so many options of nuts, seeds, hemp, flax, coconut flakes, Cacoa nibs, dried fruit. Be creative in whatever you choose.
