Smoothie Bowls!
Smoothie bowls are an excellent way to get in tons of nutrients, and it feels like you’re eating dessert. I recently have been using Bone Broth Protein from Dr.Axe which I love, and it also tastes delicious!
Protein I use to make my smoothie bowls:
I like this protein because it is made from chicken broth, and only has a few added natural sweeteners such as stevia, and cocoa powder. The ingredients are very minimal, and best of all, this protein is soy free, dairy free, and grain free. I have recently cut out grains from my diet to see if it would have any improvement on my skin, and it has helped my perioral dermatitis dramatically. I will do a separate post, but I am still transitioning from a vegan diet to a paleo diet.
Here is what you will need to make this amazing smoothie bowl:
- 1-2 Frozen, chopped up bananas
- 1 scoop Protein powder of choice
- Coconut milk or almond milk (to blend)
- 1 tbsp Maca powder
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp Cacao powder (if you want it chocolate!)
- Toppings of choice!
- Add the bananas, protein powder, maca powder, vanilla extract and cacao powder to a high-speed blender
- The bananas must be frozen to make the ice cream consistency, if they are not frozen, add a few ice cubes
- Add a few tablespoons of non-dairy milk such as coconut milk or almond milk. If you like your ice cream thicker, use less milk. If you want it more runny, use more.
- Blend!
After the icecream is blended, scoop it into a bowl, and now is the fun part. You can add a ton of toppings of your choosing to make it even more delicious.
I added fresh mango, freeze-dried raspberries, chia seeds, hemp seeds, and almond butter.
So delicious and so many nutrients! I like having this for breakfast post-workout, and also as dessert if I am craving ice cream.
