Looking for a delicious, simple way to power up on plant protein? I’ve got you covered with this yummy, plant-based, gluten-free smoothie bowl, filled with whole fruits, Naked Nutrition Strawberry Banana Vegan Protein Powder, plant-based milk, and chia seeds—that’s it! Just five ingredients, whizzed up in the blender, then poured into a bowl so you can feast on this nutrition-packed meal. This is a great way to eat a quick and healthy breakfast on the run, as well as a meal replacement or protein-fueled snack for your nutrition needs, such as sports recovery or endurance events.
I love the addition of Naked Nutrition Strawberry Banana Vegan Protein Powder to this smoothie bowl, as it’s not only super tasty, but this protein powder delivers an extra 20 g of protein and only 120 calories and 3 grams of added sugar per serving (2 scoops). Plus, it’s based on pea protein (super sustainable, high quality protein!), MCT oil, and real strawberry and bananas in the mix. You can just add 2 scoops of this powder to your favorite plant-based milk (or water), mix and go! Or use it in recipes, like this super easy Strawberry Banana Chia Smoothie Bowl, that I mixed up in my own kitchen (getting the thumbs up from my whole family). It’s also good in your morning oatmeal porridge.
I love this smoothie bowl recipe as a meal prep—just make it the day before, pour it in a Mason jar, then pack it along for a busy day. Best of all, you can eat this with a spoon—the chia seeds naturally create a thickening action, so you get the satisfaction of eating your smoothie! Get creative and decorate the top of your smoothie bowl—or just enjoy it plain and simple—the choice is yours! This nutrition-packed smoothie bowl has 31 grams of protein, 13 grams of fiber, with under 400 calories, 3 grams of added sugar, and 12 g of fat. Not to mention all of those vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients that come in the other ingredients. Start your day right with this Strawberry Banana Chia Smoothie Bowl!
