The Lemon Poppy Seed Muffin Smoothie Bowl

The Lemon Poppy Seed Muffin Smoothie Bowl Recipe

By VegetaFull

🔪Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

2 large very ripe bananas

1 small yellow zucchini, skin on (4-6”)

¼ cup (2 oz.) freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 teaspoon lemon zest

1 teaspoon of almond extract

2/3 cup (62 grams) of rolled oats

1/4 teaspoon of fine sea salt

1½ tablespoons of poppy seeds

2 tablespoons of almond butter

4 large medjood dates, pitted

1½ cups (97 grams) of steamed and frozen cauliflower florets

Instructions

1Frozen cauliflower that is slightly thawed produces a creamier texture when blended, so pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds, or just let it sit on the counter while you gather your other ingredients.

2Add the bananas, zucchini, lemon juice & zest and almond extract to the blender container followed by the oats, salt, poppy seeds, almond butter and frozen cauliflower.

3Secure the lid onto the blender container and blend, starting on low speed and working up to medium speed. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the container as you go, or use the tamper to push the food down and around towards the blade, if blending with a Vitamix. This may take a minute or more, depending on your blender.

4Scoop the lovely, sunny mixture, which will be the consistency of loose oatmeal into two bowls and top with sliced almonds.

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.
