Cold Fruits Smoothie Bowl

Summer comfort food to feel light and cool.

Ingredients

  • 1 frozen banana, roughly chopped If your cold fruit craving comes on at a moment when you don’t have any bananas in the freezer, don’t fret! Use a room-temperature banana in stead and add ½cup(125mL) ice cubes to the blender along with the rest of the ingredients before you start blending. The texture won’t be quite as creamy, but it will still be delicious.

  • ¼ (60mL) cup frozen raspberries optional
  • Handful of kale or spinach optional
  • 1 tbsp rolled oats
  • 1 tbsp almond butter or nut butter of choice

TOPPINGS

  • Handful of Really Crunchy Granola
  • Frozen berries
  • Pumpkin seeds, hemp hearts and/or unsweetened shredded coconut
  • Drizzle of melted nut butter and/or RaspberryChiaJam

Instructions

  • To make the smoothie bowl, place all ingredients(except the toppings) in a blender.
  • Blend on low until loosely combined and then on high until smooth, about 30 to 45 seconds.
  • If your ingredients aren’t blending properly, turn off the blender, stir the mixture with a rubber spatula and add another ¼ cup (75 mL) almond milk or water. Blend again.
  • Transfer the smoothie to a wide bowl. Add desired toppings. Serve immediately.
