Chocolate Smoothie Bowl
Another good excuse to enjoy chocolate for breakfast. Adding the benefits of bananas with antioxidant rich berries and mineral rich greens are all good reasons to enjoy this smoothie bowl for breakfast.
Prep: 10mins Serves: 1
Ingredients:
1 banana (frozen) – I used a frozen green banana for the benefits of resistant starch
½ cup of blueberries
1 handful of spinach
2 Tbsp nut butter
1 Tbsp. cacao powder
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
½ cup of almond milk
Stevia to taste or fresh a pitted date
Toppings: Chopped nuts, shredded coconut, blueberries, strawberries, chia seeds
Directions:
1. Place all the ingredient s of the smoothie bowl into a high speed blender and blend well.
2. Place chocolate mixture into a bowl and top with your desired toppings.
Adding the nuts support satiety for good appetite control to last well into lunch. This can also be enjoyed as a snack and can be broken into 2 small portions for a lighter serve. You can also add a protein powder that is additive free to bump up the protein content on this one.
This reminds me of a chocolate Yogo, my favourite not so healthy chocolate dessert when I was a kid, so a big yum yum from me.
