This spiced Smoothie Bowl was truly a treat. I needed a distraction the day I made it and wanted to use my new Coconut Bowl so I decided to get creative.

Even though a Smoothie Bowl is frozen, because of the cinnamon and other warming spices it still acts like a thermogenic, aiding the body by speeding up the metabolism.

 

 

 Serves 1

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup Carrot Spice Cake Juice*
  • 1 T Chia Seeds
  • 1/2 t Vanilla
  • 1 t Cinnamon (I like to use a lot)
  • 1/2 frozen Banana
  • 4 Dates, chopped & pitted
  • Handful of Ice Cubes

Topping:

  • 1T unsweetened
  • Coconut Flakes
  • 4-5 chopped raw Walnuts
  • Cinnamon (sprinkled on top)
  • Bee Pollen (sprinkled on top)

Directions:

Add first 7 ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth and thick.  Put in a bowl and add the toppings
Serve Immediately
 

Notes:

*For this recipe, I started by making my Carrot Spice Cake Juice as the liquid base. I didn’t add the chia seeds or cinnamon to the juice though because I used it in the smoothie bowl instead. The recipe for the juice can be found at http://bit.ly/2EdpBzd.

If you don’t have or don’t want to use the fresh juice you can use dairy-free nut milk as the base but I would then add 1 t of Pumpkin Pie Spice to the blender.

A Smoothie Bowl is thicker than a Smoothie but can be made into a smoothie using the same ingredients, but adding more liquid. (In this case, I would probably do 4oz of the carrot juice and 4 oz water or coconut water for a 1 serving smoothie).
