    chocolate almond smoothie bowls

    Chocolate for breakfast….sure, why not?!

    This protein packed smoothie bowl is a fantastic way to start the day! Loaded with coconut, almonds (protein) with just the right about of cocoa and sweetener, and your day is off to a great start! This also makes a fantastic “need something to hold me until dinner” afternoon snack, or even dessert. You can add/subtract the sweetener, if you’re watching sugar or carbs, and you can add whatever related toppings that you’d like. (See note below on how to save/skimp on toppings!)

    Quick note…you definitely want to use frozen bananas for this one, since it’s the only frozen fruit used in this smoothie…See Tips below for the reason! 🙂

    Enjoy!

    Tips for Enjoying Smoothie Bowls

    • Use really ripe bananas to increase the natural sweetness. Bonus points: break ripe bananas into smaller chunks and freeze them. 
    • Use mostly, if not all, frozen fruit. This will help make the smoothie thicker and more ice cream-like.
    • Be prepared with the topping ingredients to assemble quickly.
    • If your store has the bulk food bins, look for toppings like chia, slivered almonds, granola, etc. and only get how much you need. A few pinchfuls of each will only cost ya $.10-$.50!
    • Use GF toppings for GF smoothie bowl.
    • Eat right away!
