Smoothie Bowl

Sometimes I’ve had enough of drinking smoothies and I want a power-packed meal in a bowl. This is when I make a smoothie bowl, which is really just a smoothie in a bowl that you eat with a spoon. The one big difference is you’ll need to add more frozen fruit and less liquid to get the thick consistency that you need to enjoy your meal in a bowl (instead of with a straw).

Ingredients

1 1/2 c. frozen fruit (banana, pineapple, peach, and/or cherries)

1/2 c. plant-based milk (coconut, soy, or almond)

1 scoop plant-based protein powder (here’s my favorite vanilla protein powder)

Blend ingredients well. You may need to add more plant-based milk, 1/2 c. at a time. Stop your blender every 30 seconds to stir the contents around.

Pour your blended smoothie into a bowl and top with unsweetened coconut flakes, sliced banana, granola, and a drizzle of date syrup.
