We all know the worst case scenario with smoothie bowls: a thin and runny consistency - and the toppings disappear into the depths of your breakfast bowl after a few seconds. Smoothie bowl lovers will get shivers down their spines just thinking about it. Usually frozen banana in smoothie bowls provides the perfect creaminess.
But even without a banana, you can serve up a nice, thick smoothie bowl that you don't have to sip through a straw, but can enjoy spoon by spoon. The secret: Lots of frozen berries combined with creamy almond butter.
The bowl has less fructose than a smoothie bowl with a lot of banana and, thanks to almond butter, contains vegetable proteins and valuable fats. Berries are also packed with vitamins and antioxidants.
Ingredients for the smoothie bowl without banana (1 serving)
For the bowl
- 50 g blackberries (frozen)
- 100 g dragon fruit (frozen)
- 50 g raspberries (frozen)
- 1 tablespoon of almond paste
- about 100 ml coconut milk
- If you like it extra creamy: an additional 50 g of frozen cauliflower
Toppings
- kiwi slices
- 1 TL roasted almond slivers
- 1 TL quinoa or amaranth pops
preparation
- Mix all the ingredients for the smoothie bowl until creamy. Slowly add the liquid: depending on the desired consistency, use a little more or less liquid.
- Pour the smoothie into a bowl, decorate with toppings and enjoy.
Tips
- Instead of dragon fruit, mango or other berries also harmonize with the remaining ingredients.
- Only use frozen fruits.
- Don't use as much liquid as usual. Mixing may take a little longer, but the perseverance is worth it! Too much liquid results in a watery smoothie bowl.
- But also: Don't mix for too long. As soon as you can no longer see any pieces of fruit, turn off the blender and pour the smoothie mix into a bowl.
- Use a coconut bowl. How come? The bowl melts faster in a porcelain or glass bowl.
