If you’re training for a spring race, you’re probably starting to increase mileage–and it’s important to be mindful to take in enough energy (calories) to fuel your running adventures. A smoothie bowl is a simple and delicious way to up your protein intake, and once you’ve made one, you’ll see the flavour possibilities are endless.
Get creative and enjoy smoothie bowls as snacks or meals. Bonus–you can make them look beautiful, too. My favourite recipe for smoothie bowls comes from Angela Liddon, author of the Oh She Glows plant-based cookbook series.
Chocolate Dreams Protein Smoothie Bowl
Smoothie bowl ingredients
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (more if needed)
1 large banana, chopped (about 1/4 cup)
2 Tbsp avocado
1 scoop protein powder (look for powders with no additives or extra sugar)
2 Tbsp cocoa powder
1–3 chopped dates, or liquid sweetener to taste (a dash of maple syrup works)
1 or 2 ice cubes
Topping suggestions
Chopped strawberries
Shredded or flaked unsweetened coconut
Sliced banana
Hemp hearts
Chia seeds
Directions
Put the almond milk in a high-speed blender, then add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. The smoothie should have a thick, soft serve-like texture. You can add a bit more milk if your blender is having a hard time mixing your ingredients.
Spoon the smoothie into a bowl (I like to put a scoop of granola in the bowl first for a bit of crunch) and add your desired toppings. Enjoy immediately.
