Choc Berry Smoothie Bowl

Choc Berry Smoothie BowlI love smoothie bowls in the summer and technically it feels a bit like you’re having ice cream for breakfast, so who wouldn’t want that? The Choc Berry Smoothie Bowl is an amazing way to get a big hit of nutrients to start the day.

Chocolate & berries are both packed with antioxidants!

This is a really balanced bowl with protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats as well as being rich in antioxidants.

This is a perfect breakfast to have after a workout because it's got a great balance of protein and carbs to stimulate muscle repair and growth and replenish energy levels.

This is also a great option if you haven’t exercised and you want to set yourself up for the morning with a nutrient-dense breakfast that will keep you feeling fuller for longer.

CHOC BERRY SMOOTHIE BOWL RECIPE FAQS

If this is your first time making this recipe or you have a question, please take the time to read through my FAQs for some extra tips, nutrient and free-from information.

What nutrients does the Choc Berry Smoothie recipe contain?

This is a really good source of protein, carbohydrates, and fats.

Using unhulled tahini increases calcium intake and this recipe is also a really good source of magnesium and vitamin C.

I don’t have chocolate protein powder, can I substitute it for something else?

You can use other flavours of protein powder in this recipe too and I also sometimes use vanilla.

If you don’t have any tahini you could also use nut butter instead or alternatively 2 tbsp of ground flaxseed.

This recipe is Low GI and Low GL

No, this is best eaten straight away.

Can I use this recipe for my weekly meal prep?

What is this recipe free from?

This recipe is free from gluten. I also use a pea protein rather than whey, so to ensure it's dairy-free use a vegan protein.
