Recipe eBook / Smoothie Bowl

Historically, I’m not a smoothie lover. They make me cold, I prefer to chew my food, cleaning a blender is hard, etc.

BUT, I want to like them because they are such a convenient, nutrient-packed meal that also usually looks pretty.

The real hero that gave me the motivation to give smoothies another try was HOMEMADE GRANOLA. Homemade granola is a game changer. Chocolate chips are game changer number two. They bring the crunch factor, which is what I miss when I drink a smoothie.

Another non-negotiable for the perfect consistency smoothie is frozen banana. If you want to be able to eat the smoothie bowl rather than drink it, you need a frozen banana. One morning I forgot and only was able to freeze my banana for 30 minutes and it was NOT ENOUGH. Overnight is mandatory.

So what exactly do I put in my smoothie bowl?

Ingredients

• 1 frozen banana
• A few ice cubs
• 4 ounces almond milk
• 1 scoop protein powder
• 1 big handful spinach
• 2 teaspoons cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup granola & a few chocolate chips on topping

If you are alarmed by the greenness of this smoothie, don’t worry! I promise you can’t even taste the spinach.
