We’ve been throwing some healthy, nutritional and not to mention easy breakfast recipes out there to inspire you this week, as it is officially Breakfast Week. If anything it’s a great excuse to try something a little different to your usual cornflakes in the morning right?
Make breakfast exciting again with some super healthy alternatives that we personally love here at Beauty and the Dirt.
Today, we wanted to tell you about the Smoothie Bowls. If you haven’t heard of them already – putting your smoothie on a bowl can enable you to make it a bit more of a complete meal with the addition of your favourite toppings and ingredients…
Here is a Green Smoothie that we couldn’t resist from the Minimalist Baker:
“The basic idea, in my opinion, is to make a slightly thicker, more nutritionally-dense smoothie (with things like avocado and nut butter) and then top it with some game-changing ingredients, like coconut, hemp seeds, granola, nut butters, etc. You get the drift. Basically, anything in your pantry that will take your smoothie from tide-me-over snack to seriously-substantial meal.”
Minimalist Baker’s ideal green smoothie bowl has:
Super bright green color (achieved with lighter-colored berries and loads of greens)
Nut butter for extra protein
Avocado for healthy fats and richness
Flax seed meal for fibre
& natural sweetness from frozen bananas
When it comes to toppings, a few of her favorites include:
Roasted unsalted sunflower seeds
Grain Free Granola
Unsweetened coconut
Fresh berries
& hemp seeds
I also think coconut butter, peanut butter, or even a crumbled up Coconut Berry Muffin would be amazing! Dream big, people – the options are endless.
