Chocolate Smoothie Bowl

Ingredients:

• 2 Frozen Bananas
• 2-3 Ice Cubes
• 1/2 cup Kale frozen
• 2 tbsp Ground Flaxseeds
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2-1 cup Unsweetened Soy Milk or any plant-based milk
• 1/4 cup Walnuts
• 1/4 cup Coconut Flakes
• 1/4 cup Cacao Nibs
• 2-3 Large Strawberries sliced

Instructions:

1. Peel and freeze bananas overnight. Make sure that bananas are slightly over-ripe with brown spots. This makes for the best testing smoothie bowl.
2. You can also do the same for the kale, but unfrozen kale works just as well.
3. Place the bananas, kale, ice cubes flax seeds and cocoa powder into a blender. Pour the soy milk in, but the less you can use to blend the thicker it will be. Start with ½ cup and increase if needed depending on your blender.
4. Blend until smooth and thick.
5. Pour into bowl and garnish with strawberries, coconut flakes, cacao nibs and walnuts as shown in the photos. Enjoy with a spoon!
6. The main thing for making a good smoothie bowl is making it thick and easy to eat with a spoon. This is easy if you have a powerful frozen-fruit capable blender. The less liquid you use, the thicker it will be, but the harder it is to blend. Having a blender with a tampering device is also helpful, because it keeps things from getting stuck on the sides.*
