Back-to-school recipe: Flat Belly Smoothie Bowl

Are you looking for a quick and easy breakfast recipe that will save you time in the morning, boost your energy levels and kick your fat-burning metabolism into high gear? This flat belly smoothie bowl makes the perfect breakfast or snack on the go now that Summer is coming to an end and back-to-school time is in the air.

Whether you prefer a cooling ‘soft serve ice cream’ smoothie bowl or a warming breakfast to start the day, you can adjust the recipe to your liking. The smoothie is packed with healthy fats and plant-based protein – excellent to keep you satisfied until lunchtime, beat sugar cravings and keep you focused and energized throughout the morning.

Before I discovered the low carb high fat ‘keto’ way of cooking, I used to make gigantic breakfast smoothies with lots of fruit and greens. Super delicious and detoxifying, but they also left me feeling hungry (or should I say, hangry :)) just a few hours after breakfast. By adding plenty of healthy fats to your smoothies, you’ll keep your blood sugar level stable and your brain sharp. I can’t think of a better way to start your day!

Serve this smoothie for breakfast or as a healthy after school snack. If you’re making it with your kids, get them involved and let them choose their toppings: roughly chopped almonds, pumpkin seeds, fresh or frozen berries, hemp seeds, mint leaves, shredded coconut, edible flowers…

Just have fun!

Back-to-school recipe: Flat Belly Smoothie Bowl (Vegan Keto, Low Carb, Paleo)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Blend all the ingredients until smooth.
2. Add toppings of your choice. I kept it simple and used hemp seeds & mint, but feel free to get creative!

JULIE’S TIPS & TRICKS:

• If you’re using frozen berries, you can serve this smoothie bowl as a soft serve ice cream.
• When the weather is getting cooler, you can use fresh or thawed berries and enjoy the smoothie at room temperature.
• To make this smoothie bowl even higher in fat and lower in carbs, use only half of the berries and/or replace the almond milk with full-fat coconut milk.
• Extra delicious: add a spoonful of almond or cashew butter.

Now I would love to hear from you!
