Let’s be honest, how many of us are starting to struggle with keeping our resolutions we made back in January to start eating healthier? It’s not always easy to make time and prep to make sure you’re getting all your fruits, veggies and nutrients in the week. One of the ways we found that helps make things a little easier, is just…blending!
Smoothie bowls are a great way to blend up a ton of fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds and get your dose of goodness quickly and easily, just with a few touches of a button. Here is our recipe for a green smoothie bowl that ensures you add a bit of wellness to your week.
Here’s what you need:
Smoothie:
1/4 ripe avocado
2 medium ripe bananas (sliced, frozen)
1 cup fresh or frozen mixed berries (we recommend using strawberries/raspberries for a greener coloured smoothie)
2 large handfuls spinach
1 small handful kale (stems removed)
1 1/2 – 2 cups milk (or unsweetened non-dairy milk)
1 Tbsp flaxseed meal
2 Tbsp salted creamy almond or peanut butter
Toppings (Optional):
Roasted unsalted sunflower seeds
Granola – of your choice
Raw or roasted nuts (almonds, pecans, walnuts, etc.)
Shredded unsweetened coconut
Fresh berries
Hemp seeds
Preparation:
Add all smoothie ingredients to a blender and blend until creamy and there are no lumps. Add more liquid (milk or water) to thin it out if needed.
Taste and adjust flavor as needed.
For more protein, add a spoonful of nut butter of your choice.
Serve it up in your favourite bowl and enjoy!
You now have a super nutritious and easy way to sneak in your greens into your week. The bonus is that smoothie bowls are as pretty as they are good for you and totally instagram-friendly!
