Very Berry Smoothie Bowl Recipe
Ever since I met with a nutritionist last year who told me that it’s better to eat your smoothies than drink them, I’ve been a huge fan of the new smoothie bowl trend. While I love me a good green smoothie, they never left me full, so I always ended up snacking within an hour or so after my smoothie breakfast. Smoothie bowls are a game changer and honestly I almost never finish an entire one because I’m full by about the time I’m 3/4 of the way done.
I was in a patriotic mood this weekend with all of the Memorial Day celebrations and needed something to balance out all the red, white, and blue cheesecakes I ate. This red, white, and blue smoothie bowl isn’t just delicious for patriotic holidays, it’s delicious year-round.
The secret that you’d never know from looking at it is that this smoothie bowl that I topped with fruit is actually jam packed full of veggies. I used the brand new Vital Proteins Collagen Veggie Blend in the base smoothie – one serving has 3 servings of veggies, 1 serving of fruit, and 20 grams of collagen protein. I only used one scoop in my smoothie recipe but you could easily do the full two scoop serving if you don’t get enough veggies or protein during the day.
Unlike many of Vital Protein’s other products, the veggie blend does have a color, flavor, and an odor. My husband mixes it with some ghee and bone broth then drinks it straight, but I’ve found that for me blending it up with fruits and other sweet flavors is my favorite way to eat it. I need a little sweetness to mask the more savory flavor of the blend. That’s why it’s the perfect fit for this smoothie bowl – it’s perfect if you have kids like mine who balk at the sight of veggies but will down a smoothie in seconds!
