Healthy Rocky Road Smoothie Bowl (Vegan)

Healthy Rocky Road Smoothie Bowl (Vegan) Recipe

By VegetaFull

🔪Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

1½ cups (15 oz. can / 425 grams) of black beans, drained and well rinsed

2 large ripe bananas

¼ cup (2 oz.) of unsweetened almond milk

1½ teaspoons of almond extract

¼ cup of raw cacao powder

1/8 teaspoon of fine sea salt

3 large medjool dates, pitted

1 cup of steamed and frozen cauliflower florets

Instructions

1If using canned beans, drain and thoroughly rinse the beans to avoid a beany taste. One 15 oz. can is approximately 1½ cups. If you have cooked dried beans, measure out 1½ cups. For extra creaminess, thaw your cauliflower slightly before blending. Just let it sit on the counter while you gather your other ingredients.

2Add the black beans, bananas, and almond milk to a blender container followed by the almond extract, cacao powder, salt, dates, and cauliflower.

3Securely attach the lid to your container and blend until creamy, starting at low speed and working up to medium speed. You may have to stop and scrape down the sides of the container or use the tamper (with a Vitamix) to push the food down and around toward the blade. This will take about a minute or more, depending on what type of blender you are using.

4Scoop the creamy chocolatey mixture which will be the consistency of loose pudding into two or three bowls. Top with sliced almonds, coconut flakes, and cherries. Just for fun, plop a fresh cherry on top for that old-fashioned ice cream parlor look!

5Notes: Top with sliced almonds, coconut flakes, and dried cherries.

Earth of Maria

I’ve never been good at introductions because when they’re needed, I seem to forget every single interesting thing about myself. But I guess we’ll start with the basics. My name is Maria, and I am a twenty year old student from England. I study history at the University of Oxford and live in Brighton, but I was born in Russia and moved to the UK around ten years ago. I’m a vegan foodie (as you can probably tell by this blog), a lover of long walks and somewhere awkwardly between extrovert and introvert. Veganism and healthy eating are a huge part of my life, given that both have helped me overcome an unhealthy relationship with food. Finding balance took a lot of time and patience. But, as with many things in life, hard work proved 110% worth it! Whenever I’m not in the kitchen or working in my room, you’ll often find me at the gym, or at the grocery store looking for inspo for my next recipe.
