Strawberry Banana Breakfast Bowl

This smoothie bowl is refreshing, filling and tastes like an ice-cream dessert.  Rather, it's a wonderful fruit, muesli and seed medley that packs a nutritional punch and won't leave you feeling bloated or stuffed like a dish of ice-cream might!  If you like acai bowls or smoothies, you'll love this recipe.  I for one much prefer to "eat" my smoothies; it's much more satisfying as a delicious meal.

Strawberry Banana Breakfast Bowl
serves 1-2

Ingredients:

1-1/2 frozen bananas
3 frozen strawberries
2 splashes coconut milk (about 2 tablespoons)
1/4 fresh banana, sliced (or berries)
2 tablespoons dried mulberries
2 tablespoons hemp seeds
3 tablespoons muesli*

*I recently discovered Seven Sundays Blueberry Chia Buckwheat Muesli that is very tasty (and gluten-free).  Feel free to make your own too with your favorite seeds, oats, fruits and nuts if desired.  Also, get creative: fresh berries, chia seeds, coconut or almond butter would all make good toppings as well.

Directions:

1.  Puree banana, strawberry and nondairy milk in a food processor or blender, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed until mixture is creamy and looks like soft serve.

2.  Slice 1/4 of a fresh banana, and layer banana, muesli, hemp seeds and any other topping of choice.
3.  Enjoy before it melts!
