Ingredients

  • SMOOTHIE BOWL 1 banana, peeled and frozen 1 cup frozen berries, frozen chopped mango, or frozen pineapple 1/4 cup almond milk or pure coconut water
  • TOPPINGS 1/2 cup Guts 'n' Glory Granola 1/2 cup sliced fresh fruit (berries, apricots, plums) or slightly thawed frozen berries 1 tablespoon goji berries or diced dried fruit 1 teaspoon cacao nibs

Method

  • 1 Dice the frozen banana and pulse in a blender with the frozen fruit and almond milk until creamy and smooth. High-powered blenders are great, but you can also use a food processor; occasionally scrape and mix the fruit with a rubber spatula.
  • 2 Immediately scoop the blended banana into a bowl, add toppings, and eat eat eat!
  • 3 Enrich that smoothie bowl with any of the following additions. Add prior to blending:
  • Scoop of your favorite vanilla or chocolate vegan protein powder Frozen acai pulp (I usually use half of a packet per bowl) Couple spoonfuls of coconut or soy yogurt 1 soaked, pitted date, for sweetness Spoonful of almond, peanut, or hemp seed butter
  • Frozen ripe bananas are a game changer. Peel, store in resealable plastic bags, and freeze until fi rm . . . that's it! Cacao nibs are a natural food store staple that add crunchy raw chocolate fl avor without the sugar.
