This is such a great way to start your day when you want to eat to fight inflammation. This could easily just be a smoothie if you add a bit more plant milk and omit the toppings, but I love all the crunch and extra goodness from all the toppings and prefer to eat it with a spoon.
Serves 1
1 cup plant milk
1 frozen banana
1 cup frozen mixed berries of choice
2 handfuls of spinach
1 Tbsp nut butter
1 Tbsp honey
1/2 avocado
1/2 tsp cinnamon
nutmeg, just a dash
cardamom, just a dash
cayenne, just a dash
Combine all of the above ingredients in a high-speed mixer and blend until smooth. Pour into a bowl and top with your choice of the following:
fresh banana
fresh berries
unsweetened coconut flakes
almond slices or other nuts
pumpkin seeds
sunflower seeds
granola
flax seeds
chia seeds
hemp hearts
