Breakfast Smoothie Bowl

I’m a big breakfast person. I could skip dinner every night (or have a bowl of cereal lol), but I couldn’t skip breakfast. When I was working, I always had a few breakfast items in rotation that I could grab and go or that I could eat quickly before I left the house (depending on how late I was running hehe). But now, being home with my little guy has let me step up my breakfast game. Most mornings, we aren’t in a big rush to get anywhere, so I can take my time with what I make, I can be creative, and I don’t need to eat it in a rush. This makes a great weekend breakfast, too. It’s filling, but it’s also not heavy. It’s loaded with good ingredients, and it pretty much tastes like ice cream for breakfast. Who can beat that?

I’m also not a recipe girl when it comes to basic, everyday cooking, which is why you probably won’t see a whole lot of recipes on here. But luckily, this is a dish that doesn’t need a recipe, not really. You can add or sub ingredients as you like or see fit. After I was done with this I thought I could have added nuts, or shaved coconut, or any number of additional ingredients. I’m going to give you a general idea of what I used, but again, it was mostly by sight. 

I hope you enjoy this breakfast bowl as much as we did! 

Ingredients
[serves 2]

For the bowl: 
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (we used whole fat)
frozen banana
1/4 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
2 tbsp peanut or almond butter
3-4 ice cubes

For the toppings:
2 strawberries, cored and sliced
banana, sliced
10-12 blueberries
1/4 cup granola
cinnamon 
chia seeds 
honey (optional)

Directions

  1. Blend yogurt, banana, blueberries, peanut butter, and ice cubes until well blended. The consistency should be thicker than that of the yogurt (you can add more ice or more frozen fruit to achieve that consistency). 
  2. Transfer to a bowl. 
  3. Sprinkle granola over the yogurt mix. 
  4. Top with fruit. 
  5. Sprinkle cinnamon and chia seeds and drizzle honey if desired. 
  6. Enjoy! 🙂 

See? So easy!
