Healthy, Easy Smoothie Bowls with Indian Ingredients
- DARK CHERRY SMOOTHIE BOWL
This recipe is extremely simple but that’s something that you will love so much about it. Simple and satisfying!
INGREDIENTS
- 2 Frozen Bananas
- 1 Cup Dark Frozen Cherries
- Water to blend
TOPPINGS
- Banana pieces, Chocolate Chips , Pecans, Granola, Walnuts
INSTRUCTIONS
- Add all the ingredients to your blender and blend on high until it is completely smooth!

- 2. STRAWBERRY BANANA OATMEAL
The great thing about this breakfast bowl is that you can get really creative with what you put inside and on top of it.
INGREDIENTS
For the Oatmeal
- 1 cup of oats
- 1 cup hot water
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any other plant-based alternative)
- 1 banana (1/2 for throwing inside, 1/2 for the topping)
- a handful of strawberries
- 2 teaspoon chia seeds
TOPPINGS
- Crushed almonds
- Desiccated coconut
- Roasted buckwheat
- Goji berries
INSTRUCTIONS
- Mix the rolled oats, water and almond milk together in a saucepan.
- Add half of the banana, strawberries and chia seeds and let cook for 2-3 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the oats are hot and creamy. If it gets too sticky and dry, add some milk until it’s creamy again. I put regular oats in my blender to get rolled oats because it gets more sticky, but you can also just use the regular ones, just add more liquids and let it cook for a few more minutes.
- Once it has the desired consistency, place everything in a bowl, add the toppings you like and enjoy!
- 3. GREEN ENERGY BOWL
