Berry Bliss Smoothie Bowl

Start your day with this vibrant and nutritious Berry Bliss Smoothie Bowl! Packed with antioxidants, protein, and healthy fats, this smoothie bowl is the perfect breakfast to fuel your morning.

Ingredients:

For the smoothie base:
• 1 cup frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
• 1 frozen banana
• 2 tablespoons almond butter
• 1/2 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional)

For the toppings:
• Fresh berries
• Granola
• Coconut flakes
• Sliced almonds
• Chia seeds
• Drizzle of almond butter
• Fresh mint leaves

Instructions:

1. Add frozen berries, frozen banana, almond butter, almond milk, and chia seeds to a high-speed blender.

2. If using protein powder, add it now.

3. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides. The almond butter is key here - its natural fats and protein create that luxurious, thick consistency that makes this bowl spoonable rather than drinkable. The consistency should be thick like soft-serve ice cream.

4. Pour the smoothie into a bowl.

5. Arrange your favorite toppings artfully on top of the smoothie base.

6. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tip: For an extra creamy texture, add a few ice cubes or use frozen cauliflower rice (you won't taste it!).

Nutrition: This bowl is rich in fiber, antioxidants, and healthy omega-3 fatty acids from the chia seeds and almond butter. Perfect for a post-workout breakfast or anytime you need an energy boost!
