The Best Superfood Smoothie Bowl (No-Banana)

The Best Superfood Smoothie Bowl (No-Banana) Recipe

By VegetaFull

🔪Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

1 large avocado

1 ripe pear, cored and quartered

1/3 cup (2.7 oz) of almond milk, unsweetened

2 teaspoons of vanilla

2 tablespoons of raw, organic cacao powder

1/8 teaspoon of salt

1 tablespoon of chia seeds

4 large medjool dates, pitted

1 cup of spinach (about 1 handful)

1 cup (164 grams) of frozen blueberries

1 cup (64 grams) of cauliflower florets, steamed and frozen (see note)

Instructions

1Cauliflower that has been frozen and slightly thawed produces a creamier texture when blended, so let it sit on the counter while you gather your other ingredients.

2Add the avocado, pear, almond milk, and vanilla to a blender container, followed by the cacao powder, salt, chia seeds, and dates. Then add the spinach, blueberries, 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 out the creamy speckled mixture which will be the consistency of loose pudding into two or three bowls and top with fresh berries, cacao nibs, and your favorite granola.

5Notes: Be sure to steam your cauliflower, until fork-tender, first before freezing. Raw cauliflower has a slightly bitter taste and won’t blend into a creamy texture.

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.
