Calling all blueberries fans! You have got to try this blueberry banana smoothie whipped up a served in a bowl. It's free from dairy, yes totally veganised, packed with frozen banana and oatmeal to yield a thickish texture, nut butter and energy boosting chia seeds
Stuck with ideas for breakfast? Why not try this blueberry banana smoothie in a bowl to boot, so quick, convenient and very easy to make .
I'm talking about whipping up a tasty, filling delight in a matter of seconds.
The importance of consuming breakfast
I often speak to people from different walks of life who tell me that they "didn't eat breakfast this morning" or "simply didn't have the time to eat". I could imagine not having my daily dose of Jamaican Oats Porridge.
These statements bother me because our bodies need a jolt of energy throughout the day especially in the morning even if it's something on the go like these Cranberry Coconut Energy Balls.
The word breakfast is an adjective that means "breaking the fast" that fast relates to the length of sleeping time up until when we rise in the morning.
It's so important for us to "break our fast" in the mornings with something, ideally healthy and nutritious. I like to start my day with a nutritionally dense Persimmon Pineapple Orange Smoothie.
Ingredients you will need
- Frozen banana: they create the thickest smoothies on the planet!! try it!!
- Blueberries: You can use fresh or frozen, makes no difference!
- Medjool dates: The chunky dates yield natural sweetness but other dates work fine too
- Almond milk: It's dairy free/vegan so contains no lactose and also one of the cheaper plant based options (or just choose another plant based milk). You can use my Homemade Almond Milk.
- Chia seeds: these gelatinious ball expands when they swell, great for thickness.
- Hemp hearts: (optional)
- Flax seeds: Add a nutty taste.
- Gluten free oats: fibrous + protein
- Peanut butter: Two words....... protein power!! turns this into the perfect post workout smoothie
