Description
These Strawberry Banana Nice Cream Breakfast Bowls are essentially an upgrade and super tasty smoothie bowl! The bananas are frozen which creates a creamy nice cream base along with some strawberries and collagen for added protein. The rawnola is a simple topping that’s just a raw granola, but you can also use any granola you love to save time. They’re gluten free, dairy free, paleo, and vegan friendly if you use a vegan protein powder. They’re extra perfect for those days when it’s just too hot to cook!
Ingredients
Grain Free Rawnola:
1 cup big flake coconut, unsweetened
1 cup raw cashews or almonds
1/2 cup hemp seeds
1 Teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 Tablespoon lemon zest
1/4 Teaspoon sea salt
1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 Teaspoon almond extract
1–3 Tablespoons maple syrup, to taste
Toppings:
1 banana, thinly sliced
4–6 strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced
Grain free rawnola, from above recipe
Optional: 1 Tablespoon crushed freeze dried strawberries or raspberries
Strawberry Banana Nice Cream:
4 ripe bananas, peeled, sliced 1″, and frozen, 14 ounces
2 cups frozen strawberries, 8 ounces
1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 Teaspoon almond extract
2 Tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 Tablespoons collagen, or vegan protein powder for vegan
Instructions
To make the rawnola add all the ingredients except the maple syrup to a small food processor or the small bowl insert for a larger food processor.
Process until the desired texture is reached and the mixture is starting to clump. Add the maple syrup to taste, then transfer the rawnola to a sealed container and set it aside.
Prepare all the toppings and set them aside.
To make the Strawberry Banana Nice Cream, add all the ingredients listed except the collagen to a large food processor. Process until it mostly smooth and creamy, stopping at least 4-5 times to scrape down the sides, about 5 minutes.
When it’s starting to look like ice cream, sprinkle the collagen or protein powder in slowly as the machine is running. Scrape down the sides one more time, then process again to make sure the collagen or protein powder is completely incorporated.
Portion the nice cream out into bowls and top with the toppings of your choice.
Notes
We like to eat this as a breakfast for 2, with some rawnola leftover for another day.
