Smoothie Bowls

Name: Smoothie Bowls

Foreword

Picture a hot sunny day, and a refreshing cold dish of strawberry and lemon, with crunchy almonds and fresh berries. This is not as much a recipe as a formula for making smoothie bowls delicious.

Ingredients

175g juice (either apple juice, or lemon juice mixed with water)
185g frozen strawberries, raspberries, and/or cranberries
¼ to ½ tsp xanthan gum
1 to 2 tsp collagen powder

Optional toppings:

Homemade granola
Blueberries
Slivered almonds
Pepitas
Lemon zest
Pomegranate seeds
Sesame seeds
Sliced bananas

Directions

Blend together the juice, collagen, and xanthan gum. This should create a thin, frothy foam.
Add the berries. Blend, let it settle for a moment, then blend again.
Pour the smoothie into a serving vessel of your choice. We like tall drinking glasses, fancy martini glasses, or smoothie bowls.
Optional: decorate with your toppings of choice: we recommend pieces of fruit, a crunchy element such as granola or pepitas, and a contrasting flavor such as lemon zest.
Depending on your toppings and serving vessel choices, serve with a spoon and/or a boba straw.
