Sweet, creamy, and overflowing with nutrients, you’d never know that there’s no banana in this superfood smoothie bowl recipe. While I do love a good banana, it’s useful to be able to achieve the same creamy texture and natural sweetness, by blending other fruits and vegetables.

Our superfood smoothie bowl lineup starts with creamy avocado, sweet pear, a healthy dose of chia seeds, and cacao powder, followed by cauliflower and blueberries. Oh, and a handful of spinach because you gotta have your greens too. It’s pretty much like having a superfood tree growing right in your blender with each bite tasting sweet and chocolately.

So, let’s talk about superfoods. We hear the word “superfood” so much these days it makes us wonder “what really is a superfood anyway?” Superfoods are simply the superheroes of the plant world. They are nutritional powerhouses that are extremely high in nutrient density when consumed in their original form, and there are loads of them.

The Best Superfood Smoothie Bowl gathers all my favorite superheroes in one place to create a ridiculously healthy and delicious plant-based breakfast or energizing snack.

Ingredients for making The Best Superfood Smoothie Bowl

Ingredients:

o   1 large **avocado**
o   1 ripe pear, cored and quartered
o   1/3 cup (2.7 oz) of **almond milk**, unsweetened
o   2 teaspoons of vanilla
o   2 tablespoons of raw, organic **cacao powder**
o   1/8 teaspoon of salt
o   1 tablespoon of chia seeds
o   4 large medjool dates, pitted
o   1 cup of spinach (about 1 handful)
o   1 cup (164 grams) of frozen blueberries
o   1 cup (64 grams) of **cauliflower** florets, steamed and frozen (see note)

Top with fresh berries, cacao nibs, and granola. Makes 2-3 bowls. (click on the ingredients in bold to see what I use)

Note: Be sure to steam your cauliflower, until fork-tender, first before freezing. Raw cauliflower has a slightly bitter taste and won’t blend into a creamy texture.
