In a smoothie rut? Change things up by making a smoothie bowl! It's an amazing breakfast - or dessert, for that matter. Really the only difference between this and a "regular" smoothie is that it's a little bit thicker, to make for easier spoon consumption. The added bit of granola into the blended mix adds a nice touch of texture, as do the toppings.It's a delicious dose of superfoods - and I think you'll be addicted from your first spoonful!Recipe: Berry-Mango-Banana Granola Smoothie BowlWhat You Need (Note: I don't measure exact amounts when making a smoothie, so these are approximations!)
Just over 1 1/2 c water
1/4 c non-dairy plain cultured yogurt
1 cup frozen mixed berries
1/2 banana (I used fresh)
1/2-1 c mango chunks (I used frozen)
2-3 tsp Navitas Pomegranate Powder
1 packet of The Daily Good by Aloha (I can't get enough of this - if you're interested, buy a 30-pack or subscription, use coupon code 13604a for a discount!)
1 tbsp vegan protein powder (I used vanilla Nutriboost - love it for the vitamin/mineral content)
1/2-1 tbsp chia seeds
1/4 c + 1 tbsp granola (Kind oats & honey clusters are amazing)
1/2-1 tbsp coconut chips (Trader Joe's are great)
Small handful of fresh blueberries
What You Do:
Add all ingredients (starting with water) - minus the 1 tbsp granola, fresh blueberries and coconut chips - into a high-power blender. Blend away until everything is combined - but ideally you should still be able to see some little flecks of the granola. The overall consistency should be pretty thick - if it gets too thin, you can add more fruit (or use less water next time).
Pour into a bowl, add the toppings and spoon up!
