Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 2 frozen bananas
- 1 1/2 cup frozen apple slices (or 1 cup berries)
- 1 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
- 1/2 cup oat milk (or plant milk of choice)
- 1 tsp maple syrup
*All the ingredients for this recipe are from of our pantry and freezer tips!
Instructions
- In your blender or food processor combine all your ingredients. Pulse a few times to break down the frozen fruit. Then blend until creamy.
- Feel free to add more plant milk or frozen fruit to create your desired thickness.
- To serve, spoon into bowls and get creative with the toppings. Add fresh fruit, chopped nuts, coconut, chia seeds, granola and drizzle with extra peanut butter!
- For an extra quick morning, make the base the night before, store it in the fridge, then throw your toppings on in the morning and you’re good to go!
Notes
*Cost Comparison: $1.62 CAD ($0.81/serving). If you substitute berries instead of apple the cost rises to approximately $2.79 ($1.40/serving). Even with your chosen toppings you will certainly be saving vs. buying a smoothie bowl out.
*If you omit the quinoa, add another ½-1 cup frozen fruit and 1-2 tbsp flax seed, chia seed, sesame seed or the like for the protein!
*If you don’t have frozen apple or bananas and want a frostier texture, try adding 1 cup ice cubes and only adding as much milk as you need to help the smoothie blend.
