Notes
Tips
1. Freshness is key! Ensure your blueberries and spinach are as fresh as they come to maximize flavors.
2. If you're not an almond milk fan, any other plant-based milk, like soy or oat milk, will work just as well.
3. For an added protein boost, you can mix in a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder.
4. Freezing your banana slices before blending will give the bowl an ice-cream like consistency! Serving Suggestions
* Drizzle with a bit of peanut or almond butter for an enhanced creamy and nutty flavor.
* If you're a granola lover, adding a handful on top can provide a delightful crunch.
* For a tropical twist, toss in some mango or pineapple chunks before or after blending.
* Pair your bowl with a refreshing mint or chamomile tea, making it a wholesome meal.
