- 1 large or 2 small portions
This gorgeous breakfast recipe from the Good Vibes Cookbook by Jane and Myles Lamberth is perfect for a summer weekend
You might’ve heard of the acai breakfast bowl – a thick, smoothie-type breakfast made from the superfood acai berries – but let’s face it, it’s not easy to pick up acai berries in your local supermarket. So here is a berry-nice, easy breakfast bowl recipe, using readily available shop-bought frozen berries.
The concept is to make a thick smoothie as a base, then add lots of chopped fruit, seeds and nuts to keep you healthy, motivated and shake up your breakfast routine.
If you haven’t invested in a powerful blender, this is the time to do so.
Ingredients
- Frozen berries 340g
- Frozen banana 1
- Coconut water or nut milk a dash
To garnish
- Coconut flakes
- Hemp seeds
- chia seeds
- Flax seeds
- Puffed quinoa
- Puffed brown rice
- Flaked almonds
- Healthy grains, seeds or pulses
- Extra chopped fruit such as kiwi, pineapple, strawberries or even dried fruits like dates or apricots
Method
-
Step 1
Pop the banana and berries into a blender and blitz on low. It will look a little crumbly. The trick is not to blend too quickly. You can also use a hand blender.
-
Step 2
Add coconut water or nut milk a few dashes at a time and whizz up.
-
Step 3
Scrape down the sides with a spatula.
-
Step 4
Once you’ve got a soft-serve ice cream texture, pop the mixture into a bowl.
-
Step 5
Sprinkle the nuts, seeds, pulses and fruit on top.
