Equipment
Ingredients
Kiwi Bowl
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 2 kiwis
- 1 frozen banana
- 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
Hokey Pokey Granola
- 2 cups oats, preferably quick cooking
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds, crushed
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup, or additional molasses
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Smoothie toppings, as desired: frozen fruit, sliced fruit
Instructions
- Make the Granola: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Mix together the oats, crushed sliced almonds, flour, salt and cinnamon together.
- Add the butter in a medium saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring until melted. Add the brown sugar to the melted butter and whisk until well combined. Cook for another minute or two until the mixture starts to boil, taking care not to burn. Whisk in the molasses and maple syrup, then remove from heat. Stir in the vanilla.
- Add the melted sugar mixture to the dry ingredient and stir until well combined. You want every bit of the oats to be coated in the sugar mixture.
- Place in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, stir to flip and bake another 10 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cook; the clumps will form as the granola cools.
- Make the Smoothie Bowl: Puree together the protein powder, kiwis, banana and unsweetened almond milk until creamy and smooth. Pour the smoothie into a bowl, then top with granola and additional toppings.
