Introduction

Looking for a delicious and nutritious way to start your day?

This Protein-Packed Smoothie Bowl is bursting with vibrant colours, flavours, and nutrients.

Instructions:

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by gathering all the ingredients needed for the smoothie bowl. If you haven’t done so already, freeze the ripe banana overnight to ensure a creamy texture in the smoothie.

Blend the Smoothie Base: In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the frozen banana, frozen mixed berries, baby spinach leaves, Greek yogurt, almond milk, and protein powder. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.

Adjust Consistency: Depending on your preference, you can adjust the consistency of the smoothie by adding more or less almond milk. For a thicker smoothie bowl, use less liquid, and for a thinner consistency, add more liquid until you reach your desired texture.

Pour into Bowls: Once the smoothie base is blended to your liking, pour it into individual serving bowls. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure you get every last bit of goodness.

Add Toppings: Now comes the fun part – adding toppings! Arrange sliced fruit, nuts, seeds, granola, coconut flakes, or nut butter on top of the smoothie bowl how you like

Serve and Enjoy: Once you’ve added your desired toppings, your Protein-Packed Smoothie Bowl is ready to serve! Grab a spoon and dig in, savoring each delicious bite of this nutritious and satisfying breakfast or snack option.

Feel free to customise this Protein-Packed Smoothie Bowl recipe with your favourite ingredients to suit your taste preferences and dietary needs. Add extra protein by incorporating chia seeds, hemp hearts, or a dollop of nut butter. Boost the fibre content with additional fruits or vegetables, such as avocado or kale. The possibilities are endless!
