Smoothie bowls are one of my favorite ways to pack in the nutrients quick & easy. This one is perfect for breakfast, a pre-/post-workout snack, or a snack any time of the day. And it is so refreshing, especially after being out in the hot FL sun!
I buy frozen fruit in bulk and freeze any fruit that I’ve had for a bit and is going to go bad soon. Especially with bananas, I end up freezing them all the time because they get brown so fast. Just buy freezer-friendly bags, cut up the banana (or other fruit) into smaller pieces (about bite-size), and voila! Frozen fruit for days. I do the same thing with spinach that’s going to go bad soon, to put into green smoothies.
For this smoothie, I used frozen banana, strawberries, blueberries, almond milk, and vanilla protein. Here’s a breakdown of the recipe:
3/4 cup frozen strawberries
1/4 cup frozen blueberries
1 medium frozen banana
1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1 scoop vegan vanilla protein powder
Topped with: gluten-free granola
Put all ingredients and half of the almond milk in a blender & blend on high. Add more almond milk as necessary for desired thickness. You may or may not use the entire 1/2 cup or you may use more, depending on how thick you like your smoothie bowls.
As far as toppings go, you can really top this with anything your heart desires! I just used granola on this one because I was in a rush, but you can easily add other fruits, coconut flakes, nuts, chia or flax seeds, or melted peanut butter or almond butter. The options are endless!
