So, the other day, I wanted a smoothie. But I didn't want just the boring smoothie in a cup. I decided I wanted to try something new...
a smoothie bowl.
Smoothie bowls , or at least the way I make them, are essentially your favourite smoothie mixture, (*preferably more on the solid side than usual), your favourite granola, chopped up fruits, chia seeds, cinnamon, coconut, and a mint garnish.
Below are more specific details.
Smoothie ingredients: Makes: 1 smoothie
(All approximately measured)
- 2 heaping teaspoons yogurt (I use vanilla OLYMPIC Balkan-style thick and rich KREMA yogurt)
- 1/2-1/3 cup frozen fruit of choice (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, mangos, etc...)
- Splash of milk, coconut, almond, soy, or regular, etc... (*use more if you would prefer a thinner smoothie)
- 1/2-1 medium-large banana
- Pinch of cinnamon
- Large handful of spinach
- 4-5 mint leaves ( depending on what level of mint you like, I prefer minty smoothies so I put approximately 5-6 mint leaves)
- 1/2 an avocado
- 2 medium sized pinches of shredded coconut
I use a small "magic bullet", and pulse until their are no chunks left.
*If you own a larger blender and would like more smoothie, than just double or triple your ingredients. All dependant on how you like your smoothie. (:
