Add variety to your smoothie repertoire by blending in a mix of conventional drinkable smoothies with on-trend smoothie bowls.
They offer the same tastes and ingredient combinations but with a slightly different consistency for an edible alternative.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rice milk
- 1 banana, sliced
- 1 scoop whey protein powder, berry or vanilla flavour
- 1 avocado
- 1 tsp xylitol
- ½ cup blueberries
- 1 kiwi, sliced
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp honey
- ½ cup ice
Chia seeds are a rich source of fibre, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. The seeds are also a great plant-based source of protein because they contain all nine essential amino acids.
Instructions
- Blend the rice milk, ½ of the banana, ice, avocado, and 1 teaspoon of the xylitol until smooth.
- Transfer to a bowl and top with the blueberries, kiwi, chia seeds, remaining ½ banana, and a drizzle of honey.
Rice milk is lactose-free and vegan-friendly, which makes it a popular milk alternative. Its natural sweetness is ideal for use in smoothies, breakfasts or teas and coffees.
