Carob Power Smoothie Bowl
Carob is amazing - albeit highly underrated - stuff. It's high in fiber, alkalinizing, calcium-rich, and high in potassium. It's also deep, rich, delicious, and versatile! Here's one of my favorite ways to enjoy the fabulousness that is carob:
Carob Power Smoothie Bowl
Recipe adapted from FOOD LOVE
It's important to have your bananas frozen and your toppings ready to go before you start - you don't want to get in the way of the thick ice-creamy bliss!
Toppings - use any or all of the following:
sliced bananas
dried banana chips
shredded coconut
cacao nibs
hemp seeds
chia seeds
nuts of your choice (macadamia are especially fab)
Base:
2 frozen bananas (frozen when very ripe - and frozen at least 8 hours)
1-2 tablespoons carob powder (I like the full two tablespoons)
Just enough almond milk to blend
1. Get the toppings ready to party. Set them aside.
2. In a blender, place the bananas and carob. Add JUST enough almond milk to blend. If you overdo it on the milk (even a little), your smoothie will be too thin and your toppings will sink.
3. Immediately spoon your blended base into a bowl and decorate fancifully with your toppings of choice. Eat and be happy!
