VEGAN SMOOTHIE BOWI RECIPE
Vegan Smoothie Bowls can be a nutritious and refreshing breakfast or snack option on your Indian weight loss journey. They are packed with vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants from the fruits and toppings.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries (such as blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries)
- 1/2 cup plant-based milk (such as almond milk or coconut milk)
- 1 tablespoon nut butter (such as almond butter or peanut butter)
- Toppings of your choice (such as sliced fruits, nuts, seeds, granola, coconut flakes)
INSTRUCTIONS
Place the frozen banana, frozen mixed berries, plant-based milk, and nut butter in a blender or food processor.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more plant-based milk to achieve the desired consistency.
Pour the smoothie mixture into a bowl.
Add your desired toppings, such as sliced fruits, nuts, seeds, granola, or coconut flakes, on top of the smoothie bowl.
Enjoy the Vegan Smoothie Bowl with a spoon.
TIPS
Use frozen fruits: Using frozen fruits gives the smoothie bowl a thicker and creamier texture. It also eliminates the need for ice cubes.
Choose plant-based milk: Opt for unsweetened plant-based milk, such as almond milk or coconut milk, to keep the smoothie bowl lower in calories and added sugars.
Add protein: To make the smoothie bowl more satisfying, you can add a scoop of plant-based protein powder or a tablespoon of chia seeds for an extra protein boost.
Control portion sizes: While smoothie bowls can be healthy, be mindful of portion sizes and toppings. Stick to appropriate serving sizes to manage calorie intake.
Get creative with toppings: Customize your smoothie bowl with a variety of toppings. Fresh sliced fruits, nuts, seeds, granola, and coconut flakes are great options for added texture, flavor, and nutrients.
Include fiber: Consider adding a tablespoon of ground flaxseeds or psyllium husk to increase the fiber content of your smoothie bowl, aiding digestion and promoting satiety.
Enjoy mindfully: Take your time to savor and enjoy your smoothie bowl, allowing yourself to feel satisfied and nourished.
