green smoothie bowl

 

This recipe makes enough for one large smoothie bowl.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup filtered water (or nut milk for creamier version)

1 cup organic spinach

1/4 avocado

2-5 chunks frozen banana

2-5 chunks frozen cauliflower (and / or broccoli)

2-3 TBS Together Hemp cacao protein powder

1 TBS ground flax

1 tsp fresh turmeric root

1 tsp fresh ginger root

Pinch ground pepper (optional: helps deliver the turmeric / curcumin into the bloodstream)

Steps: Place all the ingredients into a nutribullet or vitamix (my two favourite blenders however you can use most) and blend. I start with 1/2 liquid and really try to make it work with only this much (by tamping/shaking or waiting a couple mins in between blending) in order to keep the consistency thick and perfect for a bowl. If your ingredients are having a hard time blending only add about 1/8 C more liquid at a time until everything blends. Once super smooth serve into a bowl and top with yummy goodies I often top with Together Hemp Hearts, cacao nibs, homemade granola, and / or bee pollen - then eat with a spoon! Enjoy!
