Blueberry Smoothie Bowl

This blueberry bowl is one of my favorite summer breakfasts. It tastes like a soft serve ice cream sundae but with healthier ingredients of course!

The Fruit + Protein Base

There’s a creamy, dreamy protein packed blueberry-banana-chia-hemp base which scoops and feels like soft-serve ice cream.The mix of hemp seeds and chia seeds make it extra thick and creamy, while also delivering over 10 grams of protein. You can up the protein even more by adding your favorite protein powder, or simply sprinkling additional nuts and seeds on top. 

The Rainbow Toppings

Instead of rainbow sprinkles this breakfast sundae is topped with a rainbow of healthy ingredients, such as crunchy nuts and seeds, creamy nut butters and coconut shreds, and whatever fresh fruit you have on hand. I love adding as many colors as possible, so throughout the week I rotate which fruit I add, such as a handful of sliced strawberries, pomegranate, tangerine, peaches, nectarines, kiwi, plum, or more blueberries.

**Peel a banana, break it in half, and put in a ziploc bag in the freezer at least overnight, or up to a few weeks to make your smoothie extra creamy and delicious.
