Busy mornings call for a quick breakfast. Lately, my life is in super speed mode, so there are mornings when I forget to eat. YES! Imagine that! I forget to put food in my mouth till lunch. I practiced this nasty habit for few times last week, and my body started to suffer. So this week I said to my self, no more.
When I'm looking to make something nutritious and filling, but healthy FAST, smoothies are my way to go. I can make Mixed Berry Smoothie or Spirulina Smoothie super quick and have it sipping on my way to drop kiddo to school. But sometimes I like to make a smoothie, sit on my laptop and enjoy eating it with a spoon. And that's where smoothie bowls come to shine. Sweet, creamy, and with colorful toppings, it's a real sight for hungry eyes. And real treat for the hungry belly.
This incredible Blueberry Avocado Smoothie Bowl was on my menu for few times last week. It was so tasty and so delightful, I just had to put him online to shine! It's thick, cooling and creamy, bursting with fresh flavors. + It's packed with SUPERFOODS and nutrients. And it hides some greens inside, which is always a plus.
Blueberry Avocado Smoothie Bowl ingredients
This delicious breakfast bowl is packed full of healthy stuff, and to make it you'll need only few simple ingredients:
- BLUEBERRIES
- AVOCADO: Avocado is my favorite fatty friend. I use it almost daily in my salads, I make spreads. I have it sliced with my backed eggs in the morning. But avocado is great in smoothies too. Avocado adds extra creaminess to smoothie drink. However, what’s more important, it adds essential nutrients – HEALTHY FATS – monounsaturated fatty acids aka omega-3’s that are heart-healthy and anti-inflammatory. Avocado is rich in magnesium, potassium, and fiber, as well in many essential vitamins – like those “B Group vitamins”. A real superfood with many health benefits!
- FLAX SEEDS
- CEYLON CINNAMON: Ceylon cinnamon, also known as “true” cinnamon, is a highly delicious spice with many health benefits. Cinnamon is loaded with powerful antioxidants with anti-inflammatory properties. (2, 3) Cinnamon gave this baked oatmeal a truly wonderful flavor.
- DATES
I also tossed in a handful of fresh BABY SPINACH. Which makes this smoothie bowl secretly "green". Blueberries hide the leafy green taste of spinach making this smoothie acceptable even by my veggie-hater hubby. It's a nice trick to get some more veggies into your family's diet.
Other pantry ingredients you’ll need:
-
- Milk (plant-based or cow's)
- Vanilla extract
How to make Blueberry Avocado Smoothie Bowl
- Prepare and measure all ingredients using measuring cups.
- Take a blender or food processor and add 1 cup frozen blueberries, ½ avocado, 1 cup almond milk, 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds, 1 teaspoon Ceylon cinnamon, a handful of baby spinach (or kale), ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and 2-3 pitted Medjool dates. Mix on high speed until you get even creamy texture.
- Mix on high speed until you get even creamy texture.
- Taste the smoothie and add sweetener if smoothie is not sweet enough. I recommend using raw honey or maple syrup, stevia or few more dates. This is totally based on your preference.
- If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more liquid - milk, ice cubes or water. Blend again until everything is well combined.
- Transfer smoothie mixture into a bowl.
- Sprinkle with toppings: fresh or frozen berries, sliced almonds or walnuts, cacao nibs or dark chocolate bits. You can be creative here and choose toppings you like.
- Serve immediately or keep covered in the refrigerator for up to one day.
Substitutions
- Substitute ground FLAX SEEDS with hemp seeds or chia seeds.
- Substitute dates with date syrup, maple syrup or honey.
- You can substitute baby spinach with fresh kale.
- You can use any plant based or cow's milk here. I like to use almond unsweetened because it has mild nutty flavor.
This creamy goodness is:
- Loaded with nutrients that promote good health.
- Made with ALL NATURAL healthy ingredients.
- Powered with SUPERFOODS – avocado, flax seeds, blueberries.
- Completely ADDED SUGAR-FREE.
- Full of wonderful fresh fruit flavor.
- Packed with plant-based proteins, heart-healthy fats, and dietary fibers.
- Rich in powerful antioxidants, vitamin C, calcium and iron.
- Vegan, gluten free, and beyond delicious!
Definitely something you need to incorporate in your breakfast routine.
Enjoy!
