Smoothie bowls are a simple, nutritious way to start your day and the options for toppings can be easily adapted to use whatever you have in the cupboard.

Ingredients

Smoothie bowl:

  • 1/2 cup frozen banana

  • 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries

  • 1/2 cup baby spinach

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

  • 1/2 tbsp chia seeds

  • 1 tbsps acai powder

  • 1 tsps cinnamon


Topping:

  • 1/8 cup oats

  • 1/8 cup chopped almonds

  • 1 tbsp coconut oil*

  • 1 tbsp maple syrup

  • 1/4 cup blueberries

  • 1/4 cup strawberries (sliced)

  • 1/2 kiwi (sliced)

  • 1/2 tbsp hemp seeds


*you can buy unscented if you don't like the taste of coconut or use olive oil as a substitute

Preparation

  1. To make the granola topping, toast oats and crushed almonds in a pan over a medium-low heat for about 5 minutes. Add coconut oil and maple syrup and stir to coat evenly for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to crisp up.

  2. Place all the smoothie bowl ingredients into a blender. Blend until smooth. If it's too thick to blend properly add a dash of water.

  3. Divide into bowls and top with strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, hemp seeds and granola.


Get creative: top your bowl with any other fruit, nut, seed or nut butter that takes your fancy.

Turn it into a smoothie: leave out the chia seeds and toppings in step three then add more almond milk.

Short on time: leave out the first step - just top with the raw oats and almonds.
