A smoothie in a bowl? Yep!
A nice nourishing smoothie bowl of 1 cup of kefir, 1.5 cups coconut water, 1 banana, 1 avocado, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, 1 cup strawberries, and 1 cup of blueberries all blended together. Add more or less coconut water to your liking. Then top off with homemade granola and some dried fruit. I used dried cranberries and blueberries.
*Combine oats, pumpkin seeds, and pecans in a bowl and set aside.
*Mix almond butter, maple syrup, and salt in a small bowl and heat in microwave for 20 seconds. Or mix together in a sauce pan on the stove over med – high heat until it’s heated all the way through and starts to get thinner and easily pourable.
*Once almond butter mixture is done, pour over oat mixture and mix till everything is coated.
*Spread mixture into a thin layer on a rimmed cookie sheet and bake stirring every 10 minutes for about 30 minutes.
**30 minutes makes it soft and not too hard and crunchy. I like it crunchy but a soft crunch. So cook it as short or as long as you want until you get the crunch you want. Just be careful not to burn it.
In happiness and health! XO!!
