Gut-Loving Papaya Protein Smoothie Bowl
Serves: makes 1 Bowl
Ingredients:
For the Protein Smoothie Bowl
- 1 cup fresh papaya (peeled, deseeded, chopped, slightly frozen for best texture)
- 1 large frozen banana
- ½ cup frozen mango or pineapple
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- ¼ cup plant-based milk, just enough to blend (start small!)
For the Topping
- Fresh Papaya, diced into large chunks
- Toasted coconut flakes
½ banana, sliced into thick rounds
Method:
- Add all base ingredients to a high-powered blender or food processor.
- Blend, stopping to scrape down sides. Keep it thicker than a 2008 iPod Classic.
- Add milk slowly, only if needed. Use a tamper or pulse-blend method for a thick texture.
- Spoon into a chilled bowl, level out with the back of your spoon.
- Garnish with the fresh toppings and enjoy.
