    Why You'll Love This

    This smoothie provides a ton of protein and fiber, as well as a wealth of other health benefits, including:

    Increased protein intake: This bowl is high in protein - 15 grams - thanks to the yogurt, milk and chia seeds all of which serve to satiate and repair muscle tissue.

    Improved digestion: Fiber-rich oats and chia seeds help provide 9 grams of fiber which regulates digestion and promotes a healthy gut.

    Boosted energy: The oats, chocolate and dates provide a natural energy boost.

    Ingredients

    • yogurt - I used cashew yogurt, use your favorite.
    • milk - I used hemp milk. I recommend a high fat milk to support a creamy texture.
    • unsweetened cocoa - The better the quality, the better the chocolate flavor of your smoothie. Ghiradelli or Valhrona are top choices.
    • dates - Find dates in the produce section, or use maple syrup.
    • chia seeds - Flaxseeds also provide fiber.
    • rolled oats - Don't use instant or steel cut, they won't blend smooth enough.
    • avocado - You only need half or even a quarter.
    • chocolate chips - I use Enjoylife mini semi-sweet chips but cacao nibs are a healthier albeit more bitter choice.

    FAQS

    How to make a thick smoothie bowl?

    The best ways to thicken a smoothie is to add avocado, chia seeds, frozen zucchini, frozen mango, and frozen banana.

    How to make a smoothie bowl without a blender?

    Yes! In a jar with a lid, add soft fruits such as raspberries and pulverize with a whisk or fork. Add to the jar yogurt and milk in a 1 to 1 ratio, and dissolvable additions such as crushed granola, chia seeds, hemp seeds, flax seeds, chocolate syrup, even a little fruit juice. Shake and drink.

    How do you eat a smoothie bowl?

    Pour your smoothie into a bowl, top with granola, nuts, crushed cookies, fruit chunks, and eat both the smoothie and the toppings with a spoon like you would a bowl of cereal.
