Smoothie Bowl: (makes 1 or 2 servings)
Add the following to your blender in the order listed:
- Just enough water/almond milk to cover the blades
- 2 TBSP of pure cranberry juice
- 1 TBSP chia seed or flaxseed meal
- 1 tsp nutritional yeast
- ½ C. frozen blueberries
- ½ C. frozen mango pieces
- 1 or 2 thin slices of an avocado
- 1 medjool date
Blend on very high speed until everything is completely blended. You may need to use a tamper or spatula to press the mixture onto the blade. Only add a bit more liquid if the mixture is not blending at all. The mixture should be smooth but very thick and have the consistency of melting sorbet. Pour out into a bowl and top with your favorite granola. Eat immediately before it melts.
*feel free to play around with this recipe and use different fruits or add in other ingredients. The main thing is not to put too much liquid in so that it doesn’t turn into a smoothie.
