Now that I’m a raging health nut… I buy healthy recipe magazines. And according to my Clean Eating periodical, “Smoothie Bowls” are all the rage. They’re smoothies you can chuck so full of nutritional goodness and frozen fruits/veggies that you can’t suck them through a straw- hence the bowl and spoon. Of course if you know me, you know I am all about cutting edge (and regularly sarcastic). But I thought, why not? I like smoothies and I certainly know how to freeze a banana. However, for all my strides in stocking my pantry with chia seeds, coconut milk, almond flour, and avocado oil; I still came up short on my chlorella, maqui berry and maca powders. So I came up with my own, and I must say that it does feel indulgent. Like eating berry ice cream for breakfast! š
Serves 2 (or a hungry 1)
As organic as possible:
9 frozen Strawberries
1 frozen Banana, sliced into 2″ pieces
1/2 cup Almond Milk (Soy or non-fat milk)
5 Ice cubes
2 cups mixed frozen Blueberries, Raspberries and Blackberries
1/3 cup granola (preferably with some source of protein: nuts or seeds), plus more for topping (optional)
1 Tbsp Honey (buzzword “raw” optional)
Make sure to freeze your fruit the night before or at least several hours in advance (or you might end up with a regular old smoothie). Place all the ingredients in a blender and flip the switch! (Or push the button…)
Spoon the ingredients into a bowl and top with granola or slivered almonds if you’d like, and eat up butter cup. You’re so healthy!
