Energizing Smoothie Bowls
A simple, customizable recipe to create two satisfying, protein packed smoothie bowls.
Ingredients
- <strong>For the Base</strong>
- 2 cups singular frozen fruit of choice: Mango, banana, blueberry, mixed berries, or any single kind you have on hand
- 1 - 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk (adjust for desired thickness)
- 4 scoops protein powder (aiming for 50-60 grams of protein total - generally this is about 2 scoops per person)
- For the Toppings:
- Choose your favorites from the following or mix and match:
- Fresh fruit (berries, kiwi, orange slices, banana, pomegranate arils)
- Seeds (chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, hemp hearts)
- Nuts or nut butter (almonds, walnuts, pecans, cashews, or a drizzle of your favorite nut butter)
- Shredded coconut
- Bee pollen
- Granola
Instructions
- Make the base: In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen fruit, almond milk and protein powder. Start with 1 cup of almond milk and blend until smooth, using the tamper to smash down the ingredients and help the blending process. This will be super thick. Add more almond milk a little at a time, and blend until your desired consistency is reached. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides, and mix in any protein powder that's stuck to the sides of the blender. The final texture should be similar to ice cream, and spoonable.
- Divide the Base and add Toppings: Scoop the smoothie evenly into two bowls and smooth the surface with the back of a spoon. Decorate each bowl with your chosen toppings. Mix and match to create beautiful, nutrient packed combinations.
- Enjoy! Serve immediately with a spoon and enjoy your energizing smoothie bowls!
