Green Smoothie Bowl
A smoothie bowl is a smoothie you eat slowly, with a spoon and a bit of crunch on top. It’s a bright, fresh way to get a handful of greens in before the day gets going, and you honestly can’t taste the spinach.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana, sliced and frozen
- 80g frozen mango chunks
- A large handful of spinach (about 30g)
- 80ml unsweetened plant milk
- To top: 1 tbsp mixed seeds (such as pumpkin and sunflower)
- 20g granola (certified gluten-free if needed)
- A few berries or slices of kiwi
Method
- Add the frozen banana, mango, spinach and plant milk to a blender.
- Blend, stopping to scrape down the sides, until thick and smooth. Add a splash more milk only if your blender is struggling. You want it thicker than a drinking smoothie.
- Spoon into a bowl and smooth the top.
- Scatter over the seeds, granola and fresh fruit, and eat straight away.
Tips
- Keep bananas ready: peel, slice and freeze ripe bananas so you always have the base on hand.
- Iron boost: spinach and pumpkin seeds both contain iron, and the vitamin C in the fruit helps your body absorb it.
- Short on time? Add a little more milk and drink it as a smoothie on the go.
