As a bonafide smoothie bowl addict, I’m always on the lookout for ways to add healthy fats to my recipes. So, I’m over the moon to discover the most delicious, nut-free flax butter out there. Flax butter is a great option for folks with nut allergies or those who dig this superfood in spreadable, butter form.

Now, let’s give some love to blackberries which are (almost) an invasive species here in the PNW! You’ll find long trailing vines with dark green leaves, sharp thorns, and clusters of plump berries, growing on everything from roadside bushes to abandoned buildings. It’s a berry forager’s dream come true! So, I set aside an afternoon or two, during blackberry season, and pack my freezer with these little beauties which always find their way into a smoothie bowl.
This blackberry and flax butter smoothie bowl combines frozen berries with silken tofu, ripe bananas, and rich flax butter for a sweet and creamy breakfast that is loaded with superfoods but tastes like dessert. Smoothie bowls are so easy to whip up too, so you can go from hangry to happy in about 10 minutes.

What’s in this Blackberry and Flax Butter Smoothie Bowl?
Fruit: This healthy vegan smoothie bowl is entirely fruit-sweetened. Blackberries are naturally sweet so use whatever variety is available to you and price friendly. Bananas that are overripe and covered with black spots will make for a sweeter smoothie bowl than yellow or green “snacking” bananas. And dates, which are truly mother nature’s candy, elevate the bowl from tasting “healthy” to tasting like dessert.
Tofu: This is one of my favorite ways to add protein and foolproof creaminess to smoothie bowls. I promise, you really can’t taste the tofu. Blended tofu behaves in a similar way to Greek yogurt in smoothie bowls, creating a pudding-like texture. Its neutral taste disappears into the other flavors of the bowl.
Flax Butter: Stoneground flax butter is known for its high concentration of Omega 3, dietary lignans, fiber, protein, potassium, calcium, and Zinc. It’s rich and creamy with just a hint of texture which is a perfect way to add healthy fats to smoothie bowls. I love O3 Flax Butter for its rich flavor and creamy texture. Its drizzle-able consistency also makes it great for topping!
Vanilla and Cardamom: The cozy earthy flavor of cardamom smells like a warm hug. When paired with vanilla, you get all the feels of autumn in dessert form.
