Notes
- Fresh or Frozen Fruit: You can use either fresh or frozen bananas / fresh or frozen cranberries. If you use frozen, your smoothie bowl will stay colder longer, but your mixture will also be more thick.
- Prepping Tip: To save time, freeze the ingredients in a ziplock bag. Then simply dump them in your blender in the morning, and you'll have a nutritious breakfast at the ready in just seconds!
- Sweetener options: use any sweetener you like. Raw honey is great for added nutritional value. Maple syrup adds another layer of flavor. Coconut sugar adds depth of flavor and a lower glycemic load. Stevia extract and other low-carb sweeteners like erythritol / monk blends, allulose etc., are great for keeping the carb count lower.
- Yogurt Options: I typically use coconut yogurt for this smoothie bowl since I don't eat much dairy, but plain greek yogurt is a great choice as well. If using coconut yogurt you might want to add some protein powder to increase the protein component of this dish.
