Broccoleany Smoothie Bowl
This sweet and creamy green smoothie bowl has all your plant heroes rounded up into one dish. Each healthy bite tastes bright and lemony, just like pie filling! Vegan and gluten-free.
What was your favorite vegetable growing up? As a kid, mine was definitely broccoli. The reason why I liked this cute, tree-shaped brassica, was because it didn’t taste “vegetabley”. Broccoli, once steamed until soft, becomes wonderfully mild and neutral tasting. Typically, we think of broccoli as a side to savory dishes. But its mild flavor is essentially undetectable in sweeter dishes too, like smoothie bowls. (just like how zucchini disappears in zucchini bread)
The flavor that shines through in this green superfood smoothie bowl is lemon. Each delicious bite tastes bright and citrusy, almost like pie filling, but refined sugar-free, sweetened only with fruit. Stuff all that healthy goodness into a blender, blend until creamy, and top with your favorite nuts and seeds for added nutrients and crunch.
It’s so satisfying to sit down to a sweet and creamy, dessert for breakfast treat, while getting 4 different types of green vegetables at the same time. Savory broccoli, sure….sweet broccoli…heck yah!
