Recipe: Super Greens Frozen Smoothie Bowl

I’ve got a delicious and nutrition-infused smoothie bowl recipe for you. 

TIP 1: To get the most nutrition out of this bowl, mix in the greens & protein powders. 

TIP 2: For more “freeze” factor, use frozen banana and avocado. This will give you a thicker, more ice-cream-like texture

Makes 1 serving.

Ingredients:

• ½ cup (120 ml) unsweetened almond milk or other non-dairy milk

• 1 tbsp chia seeds

• ½ banana, peeled and sliced

• ¼ avocado, peeled and cubed

• 1 cup (140 g) frozen spinach

• ½ cup (80 g) frozen berries

• 1 tsp spirulina powder or other super green powder (optional)

• ½ scoop vanilla/unflavored protein powder (optional)

• 1 tbsp hemp seeds (optional topping)

Directions:

1. Place the milk and chia seeds in a blender and let it soak for about 10 minutes, to allow the chia to gel. 

2. Add the banana, avocado, spinach, and berries and blend at high speed, scraping down the blender as needed. Add 1-2 Tbsp of milk if the mixture gets too thick.

3. Add the spirulina and protein powders (if using). Blend until incorporated. Scrape the mixture into a bowl and top with the optional hemp seeds. Enjoy!
