Superfood Moringa Smoothie Bowl
Packed with fibre-rich chia seeds, this creamy smoothie bowl has a distinctive green hue and verdant flavour from nutrient-dense superfood - moringa powder.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup plant-based mylk of choice (see below for a homemade recipe for oat mylk)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds (I get mine from Pink Harvest Farms)
- 1 tsp moringa powder (I get mine from Praakritik)
- 1 banana, sliced and frozen
- toppings of choice: fruits, shredded coconut, granola, cacao nibs (I get mine from Mason & Co)
For oat mylk
- ¼ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 4 cups water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
To make oat mylk
- Blitz oats, water and vanilla extract for 30 – 45 seconds until well combined. Don’t over-blend as this can result in a “slimy” texture of mylk.
- Strain through a cheesecloth to leave behind the pulp (you can strain twice if needed). This recipe makes a few extra cups, so you can store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge; it should stay fresh for a few days.
For the smoothie bowl
- Soak 1 tbsp chia seeds in 3/4 cup of oat mylk for an hour or so until the chia seeds have swelled up in texture. We are essentially hydrating the chia seeds to extract their full benefits.
- Blitz the chia seed and oat mylk mixture with the frozen banana slices and moringa powder until you have a creamy consistency.
- Pour into a bowl and garnish with toppings as desired. Enjoy!
