Blueberry Smoothie Bowl

2 servings

Preparation Time: 7 min

What makes a “smoothie bowl”? It’s thick enough to eat with a spoon yet still smooth and luscious and chock full of yogurt and fruit. This is a breakfast that can be whizzed together in minutes to get you started on your day.

Ingredients

very ripe bananas, frozen
1 cup frozen blueberries 250 mL
2/3 cup quick-cooking rolled oats divided 150 mL
2 tbsp ground flax and/or help seeds divided 30 mL
1 cup plain yogurt 250 mL
2 tsp liquid honey 10 mL
2 tbsp almonds with skin 30 mL
2 tbsp blanched almonds 30 mL
1/2 cup fresh blueberries 125 mL
Keep frozen bananas and blueberries on hand, individually portioned for this recipe in resealable freezer bags, to make the preparation for this smoothie bowl even faster in the morning.

Instructions

Step 1
Set aside fresh blueberries, almonds with and without skin and 2 tbsp (30 mL) of the oats for the topping.

Step 2
In a blender, combine yogurt, honey, banana, frozen blueberries, oats and seeds; purée until smooth. Pour into bowls and top with fresh blueberries, oats and almonds. Serve immediately.

Step 3
Note: If you don’t have blanched almonds, you can use almonds with skin instead.

Tips

This extra-thick smoothie works best in a full-size upright blender, rather than the smaller single-portion blenders. If you only have a smaller blender, add a little milk to thin the mixture and help the blender work.
