Are you ready for a new summer dessert staple?! Smoothie bowls are what my kids refer to as "ice cream"…seriously! And this one I'm sharing today happens to be a favorite around here in the Allen household.

The trick is to use plenty of frozen produce and adjust the liquid as you go to get the right consistency. Get creative with toppings! Berries, coconut flakes, dark chocolate chips, nuts and seeds all work well.

Yes, it contains cauliflower, and yes, it’s yummy.

Choco-Banana Berry Smoothie Bowl

Makes 2 servings

Ingredients:

1 frozen banana, sliced
1 cup frozen cauliflower
1 cup frozen berries of your choice
⅓ cup canned coconut milk (shake it up first!)
⅓ cup coconut water as needed (or regular water)
¼ cup raw cacao powder
1 tbsp nut butter of your choice
Pinch of Himalayan sea salt (optional)

Directions:

1. Pour a little bit of the water in the bottom of your high-speed blender, then add banana, cauliflower, berries, coconut milk, cacao powder, nut butter, and salt in the blender. Add the rest of the water.

2. Blend until smooth, scraping the sides as needed. This will be thick. Add more water if necessary.

3. Place in two bowls and eat immediately with a big smile on your face.
