Green Super-Smoothie Bowl
This smoothie bowl is absolutely delicious. Plus, it’s simple (as always), requiring just 10 minutes to make, and entirely customizable. I provide a basic round-up of ingredients for you to start with so you can then experiment and make this bowl your own.
The basic idea, in my opinion, is to make a slightly thicker, more nutritionally dense smoothie (with things like avocado and nut butter) and then top it with some game-changing ingredients, like coconut, hemp seeds, granola, nut butters, etc. You get the drift.
INGREDIENTS
1/4 ripe avocado
2 medium ripe bananas (previously sliced and frozen)
1/2 cup frozen mango
2 large handfuls spinach (organic when possible)
1 small handful kale (organic when possible // large stems removed)
1 1/2 - 2 cups vanilla almond milk
1 Tbsp flaxseed meal
1 scoop of vanilla protein *
2 Tbsp salted creamy almond or peanut butter (optional)
Toppings
Roasted unsalted sunflower seeds
Raw or roasted nuts (almonds, pecans, walnuts, etc.)
Shredded unsweetened coconut
Fresh berries
Hemp seeds
goji berries
INSTRUCTIONS
Add all smoothie ingredients to a blender and blend until creamy and smooth. Add more almond milk (or water) to thin. Taste and adjust flavour as needed, adding more ripe banana (or maple syrup) for added sweetness, more spinach for a bright green hue, or almond milk for creaminess.
For more protein, add nut butter! This also offsets / enhances the natural sweetness of the smoothie.
Pour into bowl and top with desired toppings!
