Elderberry Smoothie Bowl

Ah smoothie bowls, we were skeptical, but man you are so good. These are so easy to make and take no time at all. If you love sweet, delicious cereals, this is the best alternative. Where was this when we were kids? You can add whatever you need to these smoothies if you’re training for a race or a thru-hike. You can add your favorite fruits, nuts and seeds, nut butters, milks and yogurts. This is our smoothie recipe to get us prepped for an energizing work day. Here’s how we did it:

Chop one frozen banana and add to your blender

Add one - one and a half heaping cups of your frozen fruit of choice (we had an antioxidant mix of cherries, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and pomegranate arils)

Add one - one and a half cups of milk of your choice. Sweetened almond milk is what we had on hand. You can always add more milk if you would like it less thick.

We were going for an antioxidant vibe for this smoothie so we also added Acai powder, and a good half ounce of Embark Elderberry Maple Energy.

Blend all together until there are no chunks left behind! Add to your favorite bowl and add toppings! We added strawberries, pineapple, and our homemade Embark granola clusters, but there options are endless! Chia or hemp seeds, coconut flakes, a dollop of nut butter, or some fresh fruit! Drizzle of course with elderberry maple syrup!
