HOW TO MAKE VEGAN GREEN SMOOTHIE BOWL

Learn to make the most effective Green Smoothie Bowls! I like my smoothie bowls to be thick, like sorbet or soft-serve ice cream!

HOW TO MAKE A SMOOTHIE BOWL

If I am making a smoothie bowl, I don’t want a skinny liquid smoothie. I would like my smoothie to be thick, just like the consistency of soft-serve ice cream. 

There are a number of completely different mixtures of fruit and greens which are nice in smoothies and smoothie bowls. This is a straightforward and scrumptious combo that's simple to make and even simpler to eat. I like beginning my time without work with fruit and veggies — and if it’s as enjoyable to eat like ice cream, double rating!

The greatest option to make a very thick smoothie bowl is to start out with frozen fruit. I like bananas and mangos. The excessive sugar content material means they mix up into a brilliant thick and creamy consistency. You may use:

• Dragon Fruit also called pitaya.
• Pineapple (use together with bananas and mangos
• Berries, however, use them recent together with bananas

I additionally like to make use of my meals processor, somewhat than a blender, to maintain the consistency of those extra like ice cream than a smoothie. Because you don’t need your toppings to sink!

Once your fruit is frozen, add it to the meals processor bowl, together with one thing liquid, like coconut milk, almond milk, yogurt (I used coconut Greek yogurt right here!), and even coconut water.

I have a Nutramilk, and it has a useful smoothie and nut butter attachment which makes essentially the most dreamy textured smoothie bowls!

HOW DO I TOP MY SMOOTHIE BOWLS?

The subsequent step is the enjoyable half! TOPPINGS!

The sky is the restrict right here, however, strive:

• Fresh fruit, like bananas or berries
• Nuts (my favs are walnuts and pumpkin seeds)
• Coconut (all the time!)
• Chocolate chips (darkish chocolate within the morning by no means hurts!)
• Nut butter
• Granola (like my Toasted Coconut Granola, or the grain-free granola proven pictured)

A HEALTHY SMOOTHIE BOWL RECIPE

My toddler loves these — we name them “green ice cream.” And I like that we're sneaking in a serving of greens.

Smoothie bowls will be full of sugar. Adding some pure yogurt or unsweetened coconut yogurt, plus greens decreases the general sugar. Using protein-rich toppings, like grain-free granola and nut butter are different methods to stability the sugar-rich fruit.

Also, keep in mind that the pure sugars in fruit are accompanied by a number of fiber and vitamins our bodies want!
