Açai bowl

 Acai powder is made by freeze-drying and grinding nutrient-dense acai berries, offering a shelf-stable alternative to frozen puree. It's celebrated for its high antioxidant and healthy omega-fatty acid content.

Ingredients

1 frozen açai packet or 2 tbsp açai powder

1 frozen banana

1/2 cup mixed berries

1/4th cup milk

Fresh fruit, granola and chia seeds well soaked for topping

How to make it:

Blend the açai, banana, berries and milk until thick and smooth. Pour into a bowl and top with fresh fruit of your choice (mango, pineapple, kiwi, blueberries), granola and chia seeds before serving.

Chia seeds should be soaked at least for 30 minutes before eating, or else it is not good for digestions.

Creamy Cinnamon Bun Smoothie

 We’ll take a cinnamon bun in any form, especially if it happens to be capable of satisfying our fiber needs on top of our sweet cravings. Just be forewarned that you might be taken aback by the source of that fiber at first: Navy beans and other white beans are one of Nielsen’s “secret weapons” to boost fiber because they blend up well and have a neutral flavor that doesn’t interfere with the other ingredients. Soy milk, banana slices, and almond butter will also add to the fiber count. 

 

Ingredients

1 cup unsweetened soy milk

1 medium frozen banana

1 Tbsp. almond butter

½ cup navy beans cooked/ canned

½  tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. vanilla

1–2 pitted Medjool dates, or 2–4 any other dates you've

A little pinch of salt

 

Preparations

 

Pop all of the ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend on high until smooth, 45-60 seconds. Before digging in, don’t skip the pinch of salt! It brings out the natural sweetness and enhances the cinnamon flavor.

Sweet Potato Smoothie

 Ingredients

1 cup sweet potato puree (See Notes!)

1 medium banana, frozen

1 tbsp  cinnamon pdr

1 tsp  nutmeg pdr

¾ cup Almond milk  (You can use your fave plant-based milk!)

1 tbsp pure maple syrup (See Notes!)

1 tsp vanilla extract

⅓ cup dairy-free yogurt

1 tbsp almond butter (See Notes!)

 

 Method Add all ingredients to a high-powered blender (adding the frozen bananas and sweet potato first, then the rest following) and blend until smooth. Adjust the amount of milk (or add ice), depending on desired consistency, adding 1 tablespoon more at a time, if needed.  To serve—grab a glass and pour smoothie into each, top with almond butter or granola, and grab a straw.

NOTES

STORAGE: Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, tightly sealed or in a covered mason jar, ensuring that you drink it within the same day for best taste and consistency.

SWEET POTATO: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Thoroughly rinse the outside of your medium size sweet potato off with warm water and then pat dry. Lightly poke each potato with a few small holes (to ensure that the inside cooks more quickly + evenly) and coat them fully with extra virgin olive oil or grape seed oil. Bake on a foil paper lined baking sheet for 25-30 minutes, until tender when pressed gently. Once done, cut open potato, scoop out insides and mash well to create the "puree".

SWEETENER: Instead of maple syrup, you can use Agave as a substitute or honey.

NUT BUTTER: Instead of using almond butter, you can also substitute with Peanut Butter, Sunflower Seed Butter, Tahini, Soynut Butter, Pecan Butter, Hazelnut Butter, or Granola Butter.
