Berry Smoothie Bowl
Smoothie bowls make the perfect balanced breakfast or refreshing recovery snack/ meal after training. They usually have little liquids making it challenging to get enough protein in a serving. You can always use a sport tested protein powder but for this recipe I used skim milk powder and soy milk to boost protein, giving a total of 16g.
What You’ll Need
1-1 1/4 cup frozen berry mix
1 frozen banana
1 cup cow or soy milk
1/4 cup skim milk powder
1-2 tsp honey
Optional: splash vanilla extract
Topping ideas
Hemp seeds
Shredded coconut
Chia/ flax seeds
Granola
Fruits: berries, kiwi, banana…
How To Make It
Mix all ingredients in a blender and blend until combined. If needed you can pause blending and scrape the sides of the blender then blend again until all ingredients are mixed and you have a thick smoothie texture.
Pour in a bowl and top with favourite toppings!
Recipe Tips
Skim milk power is dried milk powder and you can find it in the baking/ dry ingredient section of the grocery store. It is a great way to add protein to smoothies and recipes. Usually each 1/4 cup packs 8g protein (similar to 1 cup of milk) and will need to be mixed with 1 cup liquid.
Substitutions: for those using almond milk as their main milk product, you can make this recipe with 1 cup almond milk and 1 scoop sport tested protein powder
Recipe makes 1-2 servings depending on your needs.
You can either cut the recipe in half or store the remaining smoothie mix in the freezer to consume the next day, let thaw before eating.
