Smoothie Bowls provide a strong dose of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Thanks to the addition of Arbonne’s vegan protein powder, you’ll get all nutrients (fat/protein/ carbs) needed for optimizing your body functions and cognitive performance.
Smoothie Bowls offer a nice change to the traditional smoothie.
How to make a smoothie bowl
The Base
The base of the smoothie bowl is the heart of the bowl. It should be a thick, velvety and the consistency of soft serve ice cream that you can eat with a spoon.
The base consists of 5 parts:
- Non-dairy milk (unsweetened) – Almond, Oat, Rice, soy, coconut milk… (small amount of liquid)
- Veggies – Zucchini, cauliflower, cucumber, spinach, kale and/or Arbonne Superfood Greens
- Fruits – Berries, banana, pear, pineapple, mango…
- Vegan Protein – Arbonne Protein is perfect & also adds a creamy texture and a delicious flavour!
- Healthy Fat – Avocado, chia seeds, hemp seeds, coconut oil, nut butter, etc
+ I like to add Arbonne Fibre Boost to thicken up (Fibre in your smoothie bowls help you feel fuller longer and stabilize blood sugars)
Toppings make the smoothie bowl fun and extra delicious. Get creative!
Toppings
Granola: (Gluten Free is best): Granola creates crunch and make the bowl super satisfying. But watch out for many high sugar store bought versions. Some have up to 30G of sugar so make your own or choose a lower sugar granola from the store.
Seeds: Hemp hearts, sesame, chia, pumpkin, ground flax… All of these seeds are great as toppings. They add flavour, protein and fibre – each tablespoon is about 4g fibre!
Fresh Fruit: It satisfies sweet tooth, gives a crunch and add phytonutrients and antioxidants. Plus, it adds a colour splash to your bowl.
Nuts & Seeds: The healthy fats and protein in just a teaspoon of these nuts and seeds will help you stay satisfied longer. Try sliced almonds, chopped walnuts, or a sprinkle of sunflower or pumpkin seeds.
Nut/ See butter: If you’re craving something decadent and creamy, opt for almond or cashew butter or tahini. You’ll get healthy fats and protein with an even more indulgent taste and texture. (Pro tip: Place a dollop on your smoothie bowl and/or melt and drizzle over top.)
Coconut: Toss shaved or shredded unsweetened coconut on bowl for added healthy fat and crunch.
Cacao Chips/Nibs: Nothing cures a chocolate craving except chocolate itself! Sprinkle with a spoonful of dark cacao nibs or chips. They are low in sugar and a good source of fibre, protein and healthy fats. (Pro tip: If you need an excuse to eat more chocolate, know that raw cacao is rich in minerals like iron, magnesium, phosphors, zinc, magnesium and copper. No wonder it’s the cure for PMS!)
