Recipe Note
This recipe is completely plant-based and suitable for individuals who are also lactose-intolerant and gluten-free. Bananas and spinach are high in potassium, vitamin B6, and vitamin C, while spinach is rich in iron! Cacao powder is a superfood which is high in polyphenols and magnesium. Our Probiotic Keto Choconut Mix includes a blend of almonds, pecans, hazelnuts, coconut chips, and dark chocolate which further enhances the polyphenol and probiotic content of this recipe.
It is a heart-healthy option with no cholesterol, has no added sugars, and about 16g of dietary fiber which is over 50% of the daily requirement. This recipe also provides 25g of plant-based protein with 70g of complex carbohydrates. This combination is a great post-workout meal due to the ratio of carbohydrates to protein that can help promote lean muscle mass and aid in muscle recovery. In addition, this smoothie bowl provides 600mg of calcium which is also important for maintaining strong and healthy bones. Adults 18-65 years need around 1,000mg of calcium per day, while older adults may need over 1,200mg. By eating this bowl in the morning, you are ensuring adequate calcium intake as well as 2 mcg of vitamin D which is a fat-soluble vitamin needed for your body to absorb calcium.
By eating a variety fruits and vegetables every day, this helps promote more beneficial gut bacteria which has been seen to reduce the risk of chronic diseases. We hope you enjoy this recipe and make your own variations of our smoothie bowl soon!
