Introduction: Thick Smoothie Bowl
This is a perfect summer treat, and can also be eaten as a snack, breakfast, or lunch (or even Brunch!)
The smoothie bowl is such a game-changer for me and possibly others because it is super quick and very easy!
Supplies
For the Smoothie:
1 frozen banana
1 ½ cups frozen blueberries
½ cup Maple of Plain yogurt (maple gives more flavor)
½ cup unsweetened coconut or almond/cashew milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Garnish:
Fresh or frozen blueberries
banana slices
Granola
(Whatever else you prefer, I tried chia seeds)
Step 1:
Chop up your frozen bananas.
Add both the blueberries and bananas into your blender of choice (I recommend high-powered)
Step 2:
Add the yogurt to the blender.
(Plain or Maple, I used Maple)
Step 3:
PULSE to combine the ingredients
Keep in mind that you are not trying to mix these ingredients yet.
Step 4:
Then you can add your Coconut milk or almond/cashew milk to the pulsed mixture.
Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Step 5:
Your mixture should look like this after you combine the pulsed mixture with the milk and vanilla.
Step 6:
Transfer the smoothie into a bowl or cup and smooth.
Step 7: Optional: Garnish!
First, start by chopping up a whole banana into slices, and add them to the bowl.
Along with the bananas, you can add your granola. I used a more flakey and light one, but you can go for whatever suits your taste.
Step 8: ENJOY!!
Mine turned out like this, feel free to do whatever kind of design or pattern, or don't do anything at all :)
