Smoothies are a great way to get tons of vegetables and fruit into your diet and to start your morning off right! All you need is a blender and 6 simple ingredients to make this smoothie bowl. The best part of moving your smoothie from a cup to a bowl is all the toppings you can add. I topped this Carrot Cake Smoothie bowl with hemp seeds, walnuts, grated carrots, and coconut.
To make this recipe, you’ll need:
- High Speed Blender
- Frozen Bananas: this is the core ingredient of this smoothie is is what gives the smoothie the creaminess it needs
- Carrots: this sneaks in vitamin C to the smoothie
- Plant Based Milk: I used oat milk since it pairs really well with the ingredients, but any plant based milk would taste great.
- Rolled Oats: this adds thickness to the recipe and extra protein and fiber. Do not use instant oats.
- Ginger
- Cinnamon
Tips:
- Keep frozen sliced bananas stored in your freezer to have on hand for smoothies and make meal prep easier.Buy store bought grated carrots to save time, or grate them on your own to save money (make sure to peel the carrots first and squeeze out any excess water).
- Ginger powder is optional, but adds great extra flavor. If you have fresh ginger, you can use a sprinkle of it.
- The milk that I used was on the thinner side (Good Mylk Super Oat) and is naturally sweetened with dates. If you’re using unsweetened milk, you can add a dash of maple syrup or date syrup for sweetness.
- If your milk is thicker, reduce the amount of oats you use by half.
- Top your bowl with seeds, sliced carrots, and nuts!
How To Store:
- This can make enough for two days, so store in the refrigerator in a sealed mason jar for up to 1 day. Separation may occur, so give the smoothie a stir or shake before enjoying!
