Smoothie Bowl + Granola Recipe


The Lyons Collective | Summer Smoothie Bowl Recipe

What I love about these smoothie bowls is everything about them is adaptable - I throw in whatever I happen to have in my pantry at the time. I also really like making my own granola, because it's much cheaper than store-bought granola, and this recipe in particular is sweetened with maple syrup, so it's not too sugary while still having a touch of sweetness.

 

Smoothie Bowl Recipe

The recipes for both the smoothie and granola are flexible and adaptable. I've included suggested ingredients here, but feel free to play around depending on what you like and/or have on hand. Both are gluten-free, low in added sugar, and can be dairy-free if you use a non-dairy milk in the smoothie.


For the smoothie:

  • 2-3 frozen bananas

  • 1/2 - 1 cup frozen blueberries

  • 1 cup spinach (fresh or frozen)

  • 1/4 cup nut butter (I like peanut butter)

  • Milk of choice - I start with around 1 cup and add as needed.

  • 1-2 Tbs honey

  • 1-2 tsp turmeric

  • 1-2 tsp cinnamon

  • Any extras your heart desires (flax seeds, chia seeds, protein powder, coconut flakes, etc.)

  1. Add everything to a blender and blend until combined.

  2. Store extra servings in mason jars in the freezer.


For the granola:

  • 5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

  • 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted

  • 1/2 cup maple syrup

  • 4 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 2 cups nuts, chopped (I like almonds)

  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut

  1. Preheat oven to 325 F. Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Whisk together the oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl. Thoroughly stir in the oats, nuts, and coconut, making sure that the oil mixture evenly covers the oats, nuts, and coconut.

  3. Spread mixture evenly onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Press down with the back of a spatula or spoon. Bake for 25-35 minutes, until golden.

  4. Let granola cool in the pan completely. Break into smaller pieces. Store in a sealed container at room temperature.


To serve, pour some of the smoothie into a small bowl, top with the granola, and enjoy!


If you are serving the smoothie after being frozen, leave out on the counter to thaw or defrost in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.
