Refreshing Smoothie Bowl Recipe

Mar 8, 2024

Ingredients:

120g mixed berries, previously frozen and now thawed
250g of either live dairy yogurt or a plain vegan alternative
2 medium bananas, ripe and peeled
30g oats, rolled type
80g no-added-sugar muesli
20g seeds mix, including varieties like sunflower, pumpkin, poppy, and linseeds
30g walnuts, finely chopped
150g fresh fruit assortment for topping, choose from blueberries, raspberries, kiwi, blackberries, or strawberries

Preparation Steps:

Begin by adding the yogurt, peeled bananas, rolled oats, and defrosted mixed berries to your blender. Process the mixture until it's completely smooth. You might need to blend the ingredients in parts if your blender is small.
Evenly pour the smoothie mixture into four serving bowls, creating a thick and creamy base.
Warm the mixed seeds in a small pan over low heat until they start to change color slightly. Be attentive to avoid burning them. Once toasted, set them aside to cool a little.
Evenly distribute the muesli over the smoothie bases in the bowls. Follow this by sprinkling the toasted seeds and the chopped walnuts.
Finally, artfully arrange a selection of fresh seasonal fruits on top of each bowl, adding a burst of color and freshness.

Optional Adjustments for Added Delight:

Switch dairy yogurt with plain vegan yogurt for a plant-based version.
Enhance the bowl with a spoonful of peanut or almond butter for an extra layer of flavor and a more satisfying texture.
Substitute rolled oats with chia seeds to incorporate into the smoothie blend for an alternative nutritional twist.

Helpful Tips:

Any type of blender, be it a stick blender, liquidizer, or food processor, is suitable for preparing the smoothie.
Save by opting for imperfect frozen mixed berries from supermarkets, offering the same taste and nutritional benefits at a lower cost.
Adding partially defrosted berries to the blend gives a cool, refreshing texture ideal for warmer days.
